1	Sprouting Mote	Item	Trophy		This mote is given to you by Ridhais to unlock the achievement.
2	Radiant Mote	Item	Trophy		Ronan's Waypoint — - The Grove From the waypoint, follow the path north, not taking the ramp up, and head to the back wall to a small pond below Warden's Watchgate. Dive into the pond, and exit it into the secluded area where the mote is located.
3	Serene Mote	Item	Trophy		Tenaebron Waypoint — - Fields of Ruin From the waypoint, run west up the ramp, and continue to head west-northwest towards Secluded Glen. The mote is found near the Pile of Stones Hero Point.
4	Defiant Mote	Item	Trophy		Apostate Waypoint — - Fireheart Rise From the waypoint, run southwest to the massive tree referred to as God's Hand. Upon reaching it, start running around its base, heading clockwise to find the mote on a large rock by the roots.
5	Patient Mote	Item	Trophy		Vine Bridge Waypoint — - Dry Top From the waypoint, glide north-northeast to the small plateau surrounded by streams of water west of the Oasis point of interest to reach the mote located on top.
6	Blossoming Mote	Item	Trophy		Nolan Waypoint — - Diessa Plateau This mote is just west of the strawberry patch in Town of Nolan. Go through the moss-covered pipe on the south-west near the vista (if you're standing at the vista looking south, it'll be on the right in far corner of the location), past the closest pipe. The open pipe has some moss hanging down, and a mini jumping puzzle to access.
7	Determined Mote	Item	Trophy		Barricade Camp Waypoint — - Harathi Hinterlands From the waypoint make your way toward Hidden Ourobon, but take the more northern entrance. Enter the smaller cavern with the waterfall in the northern section, and head towards the back towards the mastery point near the waterfall. From there, jump or glide down southward to the mote lying on a dead tree.
8	Misty Mote	Item	Trophy		Traveler's Dale Waypoint — - Gendarran Fields From the waypoint, head north to the entrance to the Stonebore Vaults and take the path up and over towards the Ancient Cave Spring Hero Challenge. The mote is opposite the hero challenge.
9	Pure Mote	Item	Trophy		Cereboth Waypoint — - Kessex Hills Head northwest from the waypoint, over the waterfall and the vista, to a grassy ledge (left) where the mote is located. It is easier to see the ledge with the mote if you land next to the vista.
10	Violent Mote	Item	Trophy		Caer Brier Waypoint — - Sparkfly Fen Head west from the waypoint to the mote located against the nearby wall in Chokevine Gorge.
11	Shining Mote	Item	Trophy		Triforge Point Waypoint — - Brisban Wildlands From the waypoint, head northeast, then south towards the Thaumacore Inquiry Center point of interest. Make your way through it, and head to the south wall, jump/glide down and head west to the small path that takes you into Aurora's Remains. When there, head towards the area under the mushrooms where the splendid chest appears after helping Less Longbow for the final mote.
