For future readers turning in this quest scouring their bags for their new trinket. You'll be disappointed. All the quest items are consumed, and you only learn the recipe Astral Alchemist Stone. Don't use your Infernal Alchemist Stone if it's in your trinket slot, buy a spare.

EDIT: I've had amigos tell me that their two Infernals on their person have been consumed. Bug report posted on forums.

I came here because I foresaw doom in this quest because when I finally got all the herbs gathered, the stone equipped on me was the only one I had.

I went to Dalaran, dropped THAT stone (my upgraded 900 piece) in my bank, left one stone in inventory, and ported back to Argus. I saw Funen to turn in the quest.

This left me at no possible risk of losing my geared stone. Sorry BlizzDev, but this REQUIRES a hotfix. To make a quest for a profession where you can lose a major piece of gear is HIGHLY unacceptable. I realize we are filling the slot with something else, but I will keep the larger amount of Obliterum Ash that results from Obliterating the old piece, thank you.

Description

I've seen other alchemists come through our camp carrying interesting looking trinkets. I believe they refer to them as... "alchemist stones"? I can sense the power they radiate, but they appear fel-tainted. The herb that grows on this planet is particularly good at cleansing corruption. I use it to purify the primal sargerite that's often found amongst the herbs. I'm certain that if we used a purified sargerite with one of those stones, we could elevate the power within 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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tracking the TrackersLevel 45

    <name>, have I told you about my tracking potion? Our scouts use it to track demons, especially their "fiends". Those particular creatures tend to consume the astral glory in the area, making it difficult to replenish our stores of the herb.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Alchemy has 3 steps, from Limited Supplies to Ascending Alchemy.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Krokuun (3).
