Just a heads up, there are Buzzing Orb cores lying around on the ground in various nooks and crannies. For whatever reason people were all fighting the live orbs for drops, and I just walked around and picked up almost enough to complete the quest. Only had to kill 2 orbs.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Emberthal wanted this guy Sarkareth dealt with yesterday. I understand! I hate waiting too! This door is frustratingly hard to crack... But! I have a plan because I always have a plan! My recipe for success is being one step ahead of everyone else. It's worked for me so far! Sorta. So, about this plan... I might need your help!

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.

  • Whose Vault Is It Anyway?Zaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    I do not know what we will find in the vault or why Sarkareth wants access to it, but I hope we are not too late. Before we continue any further, Tuberros should lead Rannan and Perisimona back to Loamm. Come and talk to me once you are ready to move forward.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Open That Door!Zaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    I am glad we are making progress but... I cannot shake a sense of foreboding of what awaits us inside. As Sarkareth learns about Neltharion, his intentions seem to get ever darker... I can only imagine what he is telling his people now--about me and about the other dracthyr.
