What to do

StorylineZangarmarsh, step 53 of 64
RewardsAncient Crystal Talisman, Serpent Spirit's Drape, Marsh Bracers, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

We must find out how much power this Feralfen snake spirit possesses and whether it can be bent to our will. Imagine what I could do with the powers of an Outland spirit at my command! Take this totem with you and make your way to the foot of the stairs leading to the Boha'mu Ruins. Plant the totem in the ground and it should do the rest. The spirit should not be able to tell who has used the totem until it has manifested.

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.

  • Spirits of the FeralfenZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    The most powerful tribe of Lost Ones in the marsh, the Feralfen, are said to possess powerful medicine. There may be no truth to such rumors, but anything that might help me channel the spirits of this world cannot be ignored.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stinging the StingersZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    It's impossible to work with all this infernal buzzing! Do you hear it? I can't get it out of my head! I know exactly what's making the noise, too. It's those damnable marshlight bleeders! The noise always comes from the south and west of the village.
