🚀 A Pilot's Guide to DarkOrbit's Blacklight (BL) Quests
DarkOrbit remains one of the longest-running space MMOs, and for veteran pilots, the ultimate endgame challenge lies in the Blacklight (BL) content. This is not a zone for the faint of heart; it's a high-stakes, brutal environment requiring top-tier equipment to survive.This is where you'll battle the most dangerous new aliens (like the Attend IX, Impulse II, and Invoke XVI) to farm the critical resources needed for the powerful Prometheus Lasers.
However, you can't just fly in. Access to the Blacklight content and its rewards is unlocked by progressing through two main mission lines: "Voiceless Voices" and "Within Bounds". This guide will focus on the essential quests you must complete to conquer this territory.
🗺️ The "Within the Limits" Quest Line (The Path to Prometheus)
This is the primary Blacklight quest chain, consisting of 60 challenging missions. The first 10 quests are absolutely critical, as they reward you with 10 Prometheus Lasers, the most powerful PVE lasers in the game.Here is a complete list of the "Within the Limits" quests, their requirements, and their lore.
