This quest became available for me with 7000/21000 Revered reputation with The Nightfallen.

Meet Farodin at the Temple of Fal'adora. To get here, use the portal to Falanaar in the quest hub.

Leads to:

1a. The Shardmaidens - Kill 6 [npc=105554].
1b. Fragments of Disaster - Collest 5 Crystalized Bark. They somewhat look like herbs on the ground. These can be found all around the temple. Upon collecting the items return to the temple of Fal'adora.
2. Another Arcan'dor Closes... - Return to Shal'aran. You can just use the teleporter next to the npc.
3. The Stuff of Dreams - Collect Purified Life Essence from the Emerald Dream, hidden inside the Emerald Nightmare Raid. This requires you to kill Xavius and loot the Purified Life Essence.
Completing this quest will complete 'A Growing Crisis' for Good Suramaritan

Upon accepting The Stuff of Dreams it seems that [npc=97140] offers you an extra quest.
Branch of the Arcan'dor - Requires you to speak to Thalyssra. Rewards you with [spell=223826].

It upgrades the [spell=224553] which is used during the world quests which requires you to send withered to Shal'aran.

Okay, few things about the quest:


  • It will unlock as you hit 7000/21000 revered with [faction=1859], also, Statecraft meta must be completed.

  • The portal you need is a second portal in left corner, it's named Falanaar and will bring you right to [npc=112967].

Description

The Arcan'dor is failing. This energy was once bound in its boughs and fueled its growth. There was balance, between life and arcane. Now that energy is breaking free. When the heart can no longer hold it, this tree will kill every living thing in this hall. I have seen this happen before and I must find a way to stop it from happening again. We must go to the tree that came before. Its bones can guide us. Meet me at the temple of Fal'adora. We will descend together.

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.

  • The ShardmaidensSuramar · Level 45

    Long have I walked this land and I have seen many forms of corruption. The creatures that wander this hall are twisted by the magics unleashed by the failed arcan'dor. These dryads have lost their way, and cannot be saved. You must destroy them. End their suffering.
