RewardsEndowed Wrap, Inherited Cloak, Bequeathed Drape, 28g 9s, 9,500 XP

Description

The Primalists have a sizeable force of djaradin guarding them while they complete their work. Even in small numbers, djaradin prove to be formidable opponents when allowed to engage in battle on their own terms. It is far better to bring the fight to them, leaving as little time to react as possible. Take them out. We cannot have them encroaching on the space we have managed to carve out thus far.

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.

  • Rushing QualityZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Look ahead! The djaradin have cleared away from the northeastern side of the caldera to augment their forces near the elders. There is an altar bordering the lava pool that appears safe for now. We can set up our spell components there. Let us hurry before the djaradin return.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shut Them DownZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Up ahead, the Primalists are working to awaken the Zaqali's final elder. When we used the farsight totem earlier, I observed that they were draining something from the elder. Now I realize it is likely an attempt to dispel the magic keeping the elder in stasis.
