What to do

StorylineDragonblight, step 10 of 149

Description

I'm convinced that there must be more of those foci, each of them in-turn redirecting the ley line energies. We still don't know precisely what they're doing with all of that power, though. My guess is that you'll find another one atop the Lothalor Woodlands to the southeast. Once again you'll need to find the person in charge and take whatever controlling device they have in their possession as I'm sure that each focus has its own. Be careful, {name}, those woods are very dangerous.

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 Focus on the BeachDragonblight · Level 15-30

    The mage hunter forces are active on the Glittering Strand to the south of Moonrest Gardens. My guess is that you'll find a heavily guarded focus on the beach and a captain who is in charge of it. No doubt the captain will have some sort of controlling device on their person.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Search Indu'le VillageDragonblight · Level 15-30

    I'm certain that you'll find the next ley line focus somewhere in the remains of Indu'le Village to the southeast. The problem is, we've had absolutely no reports of there being one there.
