{name}, Lessah in Highmountain has been asking for you. Apparently she's caught a lead on some ancient piece of armor that Huln Highmountain used to wear. When you can, make your way out to her.

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

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crystal EyesLevel 45

    I've delved into the caves here and have discovered many ancient writings. The most interesting I've found are resonating crystals, where the drogbar have resided. Unfortunately, they aren't on very good terms with the tauren here and this has hindered my research.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Archaeology has 3 steps, from A New Lead to Drogbar Deception.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Highmountain (3).
