After completion of this quest, you will receive the quest "A Skip Through the Void", which will bring you to a NPC called Hashim in the Overlook Zo'Shuul area in K'aresh. He will introduce you to Phase Diving and how to upgrade your Cloak.

Similar to tier set bonuses, the Reshii Wraps cloak adapts to specialization roles. In addition to these passive effects, you can customize your cloak with a single secondary stat of your choosing, determined by the Fiber socketed in your cloak:

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR RESHII WRAPS? 

To upgrade your Reshii Wraps, you'll need to use Ethereal Strands to purchase additional enhancements by speaking with Hashim. These strands can be earned in Delves, Mythic Keystone Dungeons, and PvP matches across Khaz Algar. In K’aresh, you can additionally seek them within the Manaforge Omega and by completing Warrants.

You can earn up to 15 strands to empower your cloak, with a limit of 3 strands per week. Each empowerment costs 3 strands and has 1 rank each.
 

 

 

RESHII WRAPS FOR ALTS:

To unlock K’aresh on your alt, talk to Locus-Walker (Return to the Veiled Market) in the Foundation Hall to begin the skip, then speak with Omen to continue it. After that, head to Overlook Zosu and talk to Hashim to receive your new wraps (cloak). You can also purchase the base gems from the nearby vendor if needed.

 

 

 

PHASE DIVING
 

Phase Diving is a new gameplay feature that transforms you into pure energy and allows players to shift between different versions of the same area.
By diving into another phase, players can discover hidden treasures, unique enemies, special events, and exclusive rewards unavailable in the normal version of the zone.

 

As mentioned above, after completing the quest "the tabiqa” and obtaining the Reshii Wraps, players will be introduced to Hashim and Shad’anis. This unlocks the quest “Another World,” which begins the introductory phase.
 

 

 

The Phase Diving also have waypoints, known as Conduits. You can enter Phase Diving at any Conduit. Once you've visited a Phase Conduit at least once, you'll be able to teleport instantly to it from another waypoint, making travel across K'aresh much faster.

Here's the map with all Phase Diving waypoints in Karesh:

 

This phase also includes a weekly quest called "More Than Just a Phase", which can be obtained from either Shad'anis in Overlook Zo'Shuul or Constable Zo'ardaz in Tazavesh, and tasks players with killing mobs, looting treasures, and completing World Quests while Phase Diving.
