Buried Power

Buried Power is an Alliance-only quest for level 50. It is step 19 of 24 in The Pride of Kul Tiras storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 45.2, 45.8. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

Since time immemorial, the Drust have used runes to shape their magics. This remains true of the spells woven by Gorak Tul and his ilk. You will need some of these runes for your effigy to be effective.

It is likely that some still exist at the site of his final battle, buried under years of soot and snow.

Take this stone. It is empowered with the magic of the Thornspeakers and will react to Tul's spells. With it, you should be able to locate the runes, no matter how deep the ages have buried them.

Whoever designed this quest should be shot.

The items aren't "sparkly". Rather, they are anti-sparkly.

The quest text says "use the Dowsing Stone", but there is no dowsing stone item, so it feels like it is bugged. Seriously terrible quest design.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nightmare CatcherLevel 50

    The effigies crafted by the followers of Gorak Tul were made not of wood, but of the bones and sinew of their enemies. This will be your first task. Travel to Gol Osigr where the ancient Drust have awoken from their slumber.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hatred's FocusLevel 50

    An effigy requires a central focus. The coven are fond of using animal skulls for this purpose, but for your task you will need something much more potent. Korvash was a trusted lieutenant to Gorak Tul, as well as a powerful sorcerer, until he was defeated at the battle of Arom's Stand.
