Quest Log

Across the Great Divide

Across the Great Divide is a quest for level 30-35 in Shimmering Expanse. It is step 49 of 149 in the Vashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 600 experience and money.

Description

We will need to press deeper into Vashj'ir if we want to uncover what the naga are doing here.

Go to the Lightless Reaches, the giant chasm bordering the Kelp'thar Forest to the west. If you look across it, you should see a cluster of plant-life surrounding the entrance to Damplight Chamber.

Once you're inside the cave, it's a bit of a ride up until you break surface, but I have friends there that should provide you a warm welcome.
