TheWoWDBIf I knew I was going to be wasting hours on getting this AGAIN, I'd have had definitely done something else with my time. Hours of work for 10gp.
Worst part is that this is the second time I've had a repeat rare find. At this rate I should have them all (or maybe just 8) by next year.
Quest
A Beacon of Hope
A World of Warcraft quest in Azsuna. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

Did the Azsuna one happily.. until I realized this didn't go in the toy box. Why?
Each survey that you do in the area has a chance to find the artifact. I was at around 50% on the completion bar when I got it done. During that time I found 3 Highborne Scrolls. Kind of annoying because of the mobs and elite, but otherwise no worse than any other archaeology. What else would you expect?

I've marked the location of the artifact on your map. It's in a rather hostile location, so I'd like you to go there and find it. When you've recovered it, bring it back to me so I can discern its power.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Echoes of My Ancestors
This land holds many secrets and many artifacts of ancient times. From what I've been able to discern there's an artifact of great power close to here. I just need to narrow down its location. I'd like you to dig up more artifacts and learn what you can.
