Description

Archmage Vargoth has been absent for a while. You may have a look around his living quarters here in the citadel tower, {name}. Kalec will escort you there. I will hold out hope that our esteemed colleague is merely up to his usual eccentricities.

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 Council is in SessionLevel 10-45

    Archmage Vargoth's involvement with the Empyrean Society is troubling. However, as he has proven his loyalty to the Kirin Tor many times, we must give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Still, I am obligated to share our concerns with the rest of the Council.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Following In His FootstepsLevel 10-45

    Archmage Vargoth seems to be mixed up in something dangerous, not that that's unusual for an archmage of his caliber and experience! The Arcway Vaults may be where he's headed, but we should investigate all leads in order to get a better idea of what he's up to.
