Contacts

Task Force Contact

While there is no specific task force associated with The Crucible, the four Patrons (as well as Arbiter Rein) are available with portals leading directly to Barracuda, Ice Mistral, Silver Mantis, Operative Renault and Lord Recluse allowing you to start their associated Strike Forces. You cannot purchase inspirations from these NPCs, they are solely links to the associated strike force NPCs.
