I had to mill some Aethril near Felblaze to get this to show up. Quest marker on map makes you think you need to loot it somewhere in the camp. Confusing quest to say the least.

This quest has a unique mechanic.

Here is how it works:


  • Take some Aethril herb with you
    ~50-100 just in case you are unlucky, like i once was
    Usually you will get a quest item after 20-30 herbs.


  • Changed, no need to fly anywere
    Fly to the location where you see the quest mark

  • Use [spell=169106]

  • After 5-100 herbs you will get a quest item

  • Bring this item back to the [npc=92195] in Dalaran

Here is my main [spell=201703] post.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mass Milling TechniquesLevel 10-45

    A number of my previous students have been vocal in their displeasure regarding milling. They find the process "repetitive", "mindless", and even "painful". Have they no respect for the time-honored traditions of inscription? I suppose you count yourself among their number. Am I right? Very well.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bulging Nightmare PodLevel 10-45

    <The flower has folded inward, to protect itself from the nightmare energy trapped within.> <Professor Pallin would be interested in seeing this.>

The storyline at a glance

Legion Inscription has 42 steps, from Sign This to Demon Ink.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (18), Azsuna (15), Stormheim (4), Ironforge (2).

Other storylines on the Dalaran map
