Description

Now that you know how to use the device, we will put your skills to the test.

I have attuned your Technoscryers to a valuable item hidden somewhere on this island. Provided you can find it, we will use it to view a scene from the past and deduce how it got there.

It is time for science! Put... the goggles... on! Resume your scrying!

Located in Thaldraszus, you can find the item on top of a rock at /way 61.87, 29.85

Not sure if it's addons that need updated or what but both of these questlines have been very buggy for me so far.

You can use the quest item [item=202247] near the questguiver [npc=208355] at /way 61.26, 30.75, on a floating island very high up on the north side of Thaldraszus.
Once you use the item, select the first option, then follow the light until the treasure trail is 100%. The exact location is on top of a small stone at /way 61.88, 29.85, behind the tree.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Technoscrying 101Level 70
Through a near-perfect blend of technology and arcane enchantment, I have developed a way to analyze the psychometric properties of objects. Wearing these goggles, you can see the data as dynamic simulacra! Simple, yes? I call it...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

I Can See Through Time!Level 70
Okay, the Technoscryers should be calibrated. I have made the same adjustments to my own pair, so we can view the same phenomena. Are you ready? Put... them on... again! This time, we will use the Observation mode.
