Crystal-Shaper Barum(?)(?) is located @ (76,55) upon quest completion. Currently the ? on the map shows the wrong location.

If you're like me and leveling through the last days of Draenor mostly by grabbing treasures and doing a few favorite quests, take note that you need to have picked your Talador outpost and done the intro questline around it up to the point where your future follower sends you to Gordunni, before this quest unlocks.

What to do

StorylineThe Plight of the Arakkoa, step 2 of 10

Rewards16g 98s, 5,450 XP

Description

It happened so fast. A white-hot flash of light ignited the nearby woods, followed by terrible winds that swept the flames across Aruuna. Moments later, arakkoa began descending through the smoke. I need to get Melani to the Pilgrim's Road. From there we can head for Anchorite's Sojourn and the protection of the vindicators. With the arakkoa roaming the area freely, I fear we'll be run down or worse: taken by the spreading wildfires.

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.

As the Smoke RisesTalador · Level 20-40
Aruuna burns. The arakkoa swooped down from their spires and are turning everything to ash. Draenei, talbuk, even orc; they care not for allegiances. They merely want to watch the world burn. I barely escaped with my life, but my best friend, Barum, stayed behind to find his daughter.
