Crimson Crystal Clue

Crimson Crystal Clue is a quest for level 10-30 in Hellfire Peninsula. It is step 101 of 103 in the Hellfire Peninsula storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Hellfire Peninsula at 15.6, 52.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 2,050 experience and money.

Description

As the colossus falls under the weight of your attacks, you notice for the first time that it was holding a red crystal fragment.

While it was small and unnoticeable in the mountain giant's hand, it's a fairly hefty piece for you to carry around. It also suspiciously looks like it's a piece of the giant crystal in the middle of the ridge.

It's most definitely a clue as to the strangeness that is occurring here, and you're sure that the druids at the Cenarion Post to the south will want to see it.

You will get this while killing the giants for quest Collosol Menace. Just deliver it, nothing more. Don't forget to 'use' the item to get on the quest or you will have to travel to this place again after you've found out you forgot to hand it in. :)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Colossal MenaceHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    You see that huge red crystal to the north? It fell from the sky not long ago, causing a massive earthquake. When we came out here to investigate the disturbance, we found all of these colossi wandering about that weren't previously here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The EarthbinderHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    You should take the crystal lump over to the earthbinder. She's just like you... always needing to get to the bottom of a mystery and thinking all of the time. If you ask me, she thinks a little too much.
