A Life's Work

A Life's Work is an Alliance-only quest for level 50 in Nazjatar, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards money.

Description

<A voice whispers to you from beyond the veil of death.>

I spent more than one-thousand years researching the mysteries of the arcane before the Great Sundering tore our world apart.

I perished amidst the destruction and my work was lost.

Search the area for my ancient writings and put my spirit to rest...

This looks identical to [item=168238] which must be found in the quest Forgotten Memories. The tomes are always found in a stone ruin or patio - they don't drop from npc's. Once you locate 6 you'll know most of the locations where [item=168238] can be found.

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.
