The shaft drops by Sultan Oogah just east of Harrison Jones.

Shardfinder Hood, Splinterproof Bracers, Staffseeker Shoulderplates, 1,200 XPDescription
The etching around the surface of this object indicates that it is of ancient origins, and yet no signs of wear can be detected. A hole on its edge, full of splintered wood, indicates that it is meant to be put atop a wooden staff of some sort. Before showing this to Doctor Jones, you should find the other piece.
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.
- Field Work
This unfortunate pygmy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As you ponder his bad luck, you take notice of the symbols covering his shield - far too elaborate for pygmy scrawl. Confident that Doctor Jones will find such objects of interest, you set out to find more fragments like this one.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On to Something
This is remarkable work you've done! Especially for someone who hasn't taken my courses. These tablets provide new information on several subjects. They indicate that these obelisks are part of an enormous ancient mechanism that once kept this whole region masked from the rest of the world.
