A Strange Device (Horde)

A Strange Device is a Horde-only quest for level 15-30 in Dragonblight. It is step 18 of 149 in the Dragonblight storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dragonblight at 38.1, 46.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 2,050 experience.

Description

Picking up this strange device, you are certain that it is magical in nature. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to connote any other kind of use.

Perhaps the archmage back at Agmar's Hammer to the northeast of the Moonrest Gardens would be able to tell what it's used for?

A lot of misinformation here. The device will drop even if you don't have Prevent the Accord, as long as you've completed and turned in Rifle the Bodies (which has already been said in these comments). If you're not getting it then you either forgot you finished the quest chain already, or haven't finished Rifle the Bodies yet.

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.

  • Prevent the AccordDragonblight · Level 15-30

    We need to kill two birds with one stone here, <class>. You're the stone. Our two birds are Wind Trader Mu'fah and Goramosh. They should be somewhere in the western half of the Moonrest Gardens. Most likely they're in the larger two-story building overlooking the pit.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Projections and PlansDragonblight · Level 15-30

    This is a teleportation device. If I had to guess, I'd say that it leads to the surge needle platform floating above the Moonrest Gardens to the southwest. <name>, I need you to use it to investigate what's up there. It appears that the device works both ways so you shouldn't have to jump off.
