Bring Home the Beacon

Bring Home the Beacon is a quest for level 45 in Suramar. It is step 5 of 8 in the A Change of Seasons storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Suramar at 36.3, 44.9. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

The conduit we need is in the Arcway, and security in the Arcway has doubled since your last visit.

Our only reasonable option is to teleport your strike team directly in.

This is a long-range teleport to a non-anchored destination. In other words, it will be hard.

Take this beacon and survey the commons in Suramar City, then return the beacon to me so I can analyze the results.

This will help me teleport you as close as possible to the conduit!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Flow ControlSuramar · Level 45

    If all goes as planned, the manastorm will cause the leyline to flare up, sending a great surge of energy through the arcway. In order for the surge to reach Shal'Aran, we must seal off any outlets along the way.

After 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>...
