Well done, <name>.

It's worth mentioning that you have to do "Delectable Delicacies" for Mother Elion, between this quest and "Home in Time for Tea". It seems obvious when you're playing through the questline, but since it's not listed it may be confusing for those who don't realize it's part of the quest chain.

Wrathion is not giving me the quest at this location, and I have done the quest before it in the chain. I found a random YT video showing him at 61, 73 for this quest and I have found Wrathion there. He doesn't have the quest but Vyranoth is beside him with the Cavern Cleaning quest. I am going to do that and see if this quest unlocks from him then.

Edit: this was the quest start location. Not sure how to suggest an edit on here.

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.

  • A Dragon's Eye ViewEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    I believe I know just the location for the Netherwing to roost. It has a wonderful view and is quite secluded. I'd like to show our guest some of the sights of Valdrakken before we go. Meet you there?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Home in Time for TeaEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    I must admit, I did not expect to be altering the future of my flight when I arrived. But it feels as though we belong here. Perhaps this is the call they spoke of... Regardless, I am looking forward to some rest. Wrathion mentioned retiring to the Roasted Ram Inn. Can you meet us there?
