Got Broken Isles, Pathfinder, Exalted with the Nightfalled, and Good Suramaritan achievements at the same time. Not sure why Wowhead still shows A Change of Seasons as not in the game yet (unknown), because it's unlocked at 20,000/21,000 Revered with the Nightfallen and has you go around Suramar to kill 5 Sentinels, Block off some grates, and do some surveys, then after that, has you do a special Scenario of the Arcway, and distribute fruit to some NPCs (this quest) and then you complete the achievement along with hitting full exalted with the Nightfallen.

Make sure to give the fruit to Valtrois upstairs. There is a second copy of her downstairs that shows a quest objective in the tooltip but you can't actually complete it there.

This questline requires 1-2k shy short of exated..Finhsing Xavius quest doesn't give the next chain with lower rep, and rge line itself will cap exalted.

Description

Thousands of years ago, as the Quel'dorei were just beginning to unravel the mysteries of the arcane, a small enclave of druids met with the first of the elven magi. In the pale moonlight, they formed an order that would seek to bring the arcane into balance - using nature itself as a vessel. Thus the arcan'dor were created. My masters who belonged to this order have long since faded away. Yet their legacy remains. Their gift will mend the spirit of the shal'dorei. Let them eat, and be made whole.

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.

All InSuramar · Level 45
It is time to put our plan into action. Oculeth will send you, Arluin and myself into the Arcway, where we shall trigger a manastorm in the Nightflow Conduit. Valtrois will stay here and prepare Shal'Aran for a massive jolt of arcane power - hopefully enough to satisfy the arcan'dor. <name>...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Arluin's RequestSuramar · Level 45
I never thought I would need to read this... <Vanthir hefts a scroll in his hand.> Arluin made... plans... in the event he fell. It is not much, but I would like to honor his last request. <Vanthir hands you the scroll.> Go to the location marked on this map.
