Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

<Legionnaire Nazgrim listens intently to your recount of Duarn and Nespirah's conversation.> I see. So the creature wants our help waking it up, is that it? With hundreds of slaves already picking away at her pearls, the beast seems to be a pretty heavy sleeper. You might have better luck, though. My suggestion? Look around the creature's flesh for signs of weakness. Maybe that weapon of yours will find a ticklish spot and force the beast to come to its senses.

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.

  • Hopelessly GearlessShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    I honestly don't know how we've survived this long. The naga took my armor and weapons, and left me with rags and a mining pick... and THAT snapped in half long ago. If we're to stand any hope of turning the tide, I'm going to need something to fight with...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Still ValuableShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    My time in the pearl pits, however short, has made me curious about the naga's goals. Yes, I now know that the naga want to use Nespirah as an engine of war, but if that's the case, then why are they enslaving men to mine her pearls?
