Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• A Nose for MagicZuldazar · Level 10-60

  I have it! The readings from the ruins are unmistakable. Somewhere to the south and west of the ah... "foot", as it were, is a source of great magical energy. It can be nothing but the Eye of Xibala! We will need to place a few more scrying vessels to pinpoint the Eye's exact location.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Grand Theft TelemancyZuldazar · Level 10-60

  They must not keep the Eye, <name>. Fortunately I am more than an archaeologist. I am a telemancer. Chief Telemancer Oculeth himself trained the woman who trained my master. I can retrieve the relic with these arts. All you need to do is place a telemancy beacon near the Eye.
