Description

First things first, though. I'm not just going to sit here and tell you everything we've discovered down in those ruins. We've got problems to take care of! Most pressing is those upstart Reliquary hooligans, just on the other side of the tomb. They're makin' off with all of our loot! Don't they know that diggin's dwarf work? Hunt down a few of their "excavators" - more like bandits, if you ask me - and bring some of these precious artifacts back to me. THEN we'll talk titans.

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.

  • Dustwind DigBadlands · Level 15-30

    I've got an idea, but it's a bit of a long shot. Thankfully, long shots happen to be a specialty of mine. North of here, the Explorers' League has uncovered a new set of titan ruins beneath the sands. If there's anything older and wiser than dragons, it's titans.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Warden's PawnBadlands · Level 15-30

    Once those Reliquary honks got here, we panicked, and we all just started looting indiscriminately. A lot of bad archaeology happened that day. Luckily, Olga happened upon this small jade statue. We thought it to be a key of some sort, but can't figure out what it opens.
