Description

<Thargad rummages through the satchel and pulls out a curious object.>

Well now, this is odd... it's a hollow kodo horn with some sort of potion inside.

<Thargad sniffs the potion.>

WHEW! Definitely not any kind of healthy elixir. This mess is meant for one thing... killin'.

How 'bout yeh run it back up to Karnum and see if there's anything he can do with it...

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.

  • Rock Lobstrock!Desolace · Level 10-30

    Thargad works practically nonstop chasing after ancient Titan relics. He stays so busy that if it weren't for me, he'd probably forget to eat! Speaking of eating, I'd like to prepare him something special - perhaps you could help me out? Lobstrock roam all over the coast to the west.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleansing Our CrevasseDesolace · Level 10-30

    I recognize this foul creation. It's a terrible disease that kills almost instantly, and in a most violent manner. Loathe as I am to employ such devices, I fear we have no choice here. As you of course know, the naga remain a serious threat to the region.
