Magically-Fortified Vial, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
Suramar is... was... an intellectual's dream. We studied everything in there, from alchemy and the arts to the very nature of magic itself. How could we be so foolish as to accept them in? Look at me, lost in the clouds again when there is much to be done. My work requires some fairly difficult ingredients, {race}. Perhaps you would help me procure them? I am going to need some harpy talons. Crushed into a powder, they will be a potent reagent.
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.
- The Lost Advisor
You may as well assist me while you are here. I require a potion to be made, one that will set things right. I must conserve my energy until my task is finished, lest I become like these miserable wretches scrabbling at the cobblestones.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bad Intentions
Suramar is lost. Our leaders struck a dark bargain, accepting the Legion as our allies. We were meant to be heroes, guardians - the people resting here. We are not like them any more. I cannot live with them. But cut off from the Nightwell, we wither and devolve into a mindless existence.
