Close to Home

Close to Home is a quest for level 45. It is step 4 of 5 in the Class Mount: Mage storyline. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

The third piece of the disc was infused with Antonidas' own arcane magic. He did this at the height of his power, but like the other two discs, was unable to finish his work on it.

He wrote that he gave the piece to Archmage Celindra...

Isn't she the portal trainer here in Dalaran? She must know where the piece is!

Quickly, go speak with her.

Avocation of Antonidas

Burning Within Fire part - talk to [npc=90417] in New-Dalaran, then go to the middle of Dalaran and use the teleporter to Karazhan. There you'll find [npc=114667] outside, he sends you downstairs
Chilled to the Core Frost part - use the teleporter to Old-Dalaran in the middle of New-Dalaran (Slow Fall ;-) ), talk to [npc=18165] and kill [npc=121200] (I found him here -> /way 45 27)
Close to Home Arcane part - talk to [npc=96786] in New-Dalaran (you are here)
Return to your order hall

Dispersion of the Discs - Scenario: defeat fire, frost and arcane elementals. You can buy some food and shield buffs from the vendors in the middle and your cooldowns (even time warp and it's debuff) will be resetted after each fight

[spell=241854] will be added to your mount collection automatically after turning in the quest.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Chilled to the CoreLevel 45
The next piece Antonidas made was imbued with frost magic. He wrote about a ritual to channel frost energy into the disc with his fellow Archmage, Cedric, but their combined strengths forced too much energy into the disc.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Dispersion of the DiscsLevel 45
These discs are radiating with power! It must be their proximity to one another. We must take them from here should they resonate further and cause a catastrophe in these sacred halls. I'll send them to the one place I know where we can reign their energies in, preventing any sort of explosion.

Class Mount: Mage has 5 steps, from Avocation of Antonidas to Dispersion of the Discs.
