A Not-So-Modest Proposal

A Not-So-Modest Proposal is a quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 90 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 71.1, 39.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

From the look on your face, I can tell you're a <race> who appreciates a good profit.

I've built a reputation as a dealer in exotic goods, and I'm about to launch a new venture.

I need a reliable subcontractor to procure the goods from the Celestial Ridge.

First, you'll need to re-energize a teleport pad. There is a spare power pack in Access Shaft Zeon, which is on the south side of Manaforge UItris. The Protectorate is operating in there, so you may be able to follow their tracers to your goal.

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.

  • Success!Netherstorm · Level 25-30

    The test was a resounding success! We can certainly use this device to start repairing the domes. Carry word of the test results to the Stormspire and let Ghabar know that I've also found a pattern in the damage to the shield generators.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Getting Down to BusinessNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    As you've no doubt seen, the area is teeming with nether dragons in various stages of growth. All nether dragons, young and old, contain an essence that's highly desired by K -- err, by a client of mine.
