A Rising Tide is a Legendary Quest from the Season of Plunder, added as part of the Eliksni Quarter community event. It is acquired from the Donations Chest in the Tower. This quest serves as an epilogue to the seasonal story seen in the Ahoy and Aweigh and Sails of the Shipstealer quests, although they are not required to participate in the event. This quest can be acquired and completed once per character.
Some steps in this quest are gated based on the amount of treasure donated to the Donations Chest by all players. These steps correspond to the Community Goals for the event. Each goal funds an improvement to the Eliksni Quarter, which can be accessed from the H.E.L.M. map in the Director. Interacting with these improvements will progress the quest. While this quest is in the player's Quests inventory, it will display the current amount of treasure donated globally.

A Rising Tide
As you draw close to the unfamiliar chest, Mithrax's voice crackles over the radio."I require your assistance," he says, but then hesitates. "I must ask... that you work alongside... someone..."
An exasperated Spider cuts into the feed, sparing Mithrax further embarassment.
"I'll take it from here, Misraakskel," he says.
He outlines the plan Mithrax and the Vanguard have come up with: Guardians are being asked to scour the system for any remaining pirate treasure and bring as much as they can back to the Tower. The recovered funds will be used to improve the Last City, starting with the Eliksni Quarter.
While the Guardians are working together, Mithrax will be able to focus on studying the relics of Nezarec—he feels he is close to a breakthrough. He has asked Spider to distribute the resources and finance the improvements the Eliksni Quarter needs.
"Bring me everything you can get your hands on!" Spider says.
"And may the Light provide," he adds begrudgingly.

Mithrax: "Guardian! This is Misraaks, and I require your assistance."
Mithrax: "I am close to a breakthrough with the relics of Nezarec, but I must concentrate, and there are civic duties that cannot be neglected."
Mithrax: "I must ask that you work alongside... someone... with experience. Managing a community—"
Spider: "All right, Misraakskel, uh... I'll take it from here."
Spider: "Guardian, you claimed piles of valuables from the pirates. Now it's time to put it all to good use."
Spider: "We're asking the whole Vanguard to collect treasure from around the system and bring it back here."
Spider: "Misraaks has trusted me to allocate the funds to improve the Last City, starting with the Eliksni Quarter. [chuckles] He knows I've got a head for business."
Spider: "I think we can make this place sparkle... but only if we all chip in, you get me?"
Spider: "Teamwork, Guardian. Don't be selfish now! Bring me everything you can get your hands on."
Spider: "And, uh... may the Light provide."
