Currently you cannot get back inside the Buried Vault if you leave via Rupert, the Gentleman Elemental. I had to abandon the quest(s) and fly away from the Dragonscale Camp to have Rupert respawn.

Once the quests are completed and you return to the Dragonscale Camp Rupert does not give you the option to return, so make sure to farm your Endmites!

Edit: The following day the world quest Ending Their Watch appeared which allows you to return to the Buried Vault. If you missed anything don't worry, you can eventually get back!

Description

This vault is of Black Dragon make which means its contents are my flight's property. Normally I would have suggested we venture in together, but I was not expecting aggressive watchers. I will protect Rupert while you search for artifacts for us to examine. To keep you safe, I will cast a spell on you I use when fighting the gronn.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Healing CrystalsZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Greetings! Apologies if I seem... distracted. I have been beside myself worrying about my injured friends. But maybe you, gentle<class>, can assist us? Narvra needs aid in healing us. Shards from crystal elementals have healing properties.

  • Bringing Disorder to OrderZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    How incredibly rude! I know we did not bring gifts, but this is hardly the way to greet visitors! There is no excuse for such terrible manners! Scoundrels! Cads! Brutes! <Rupert coughs into his hand.> What I meant to say was these watchers appear to be a threat.
