All four [npc=100742] can be found near the quest giver, they look like fel green crystals floating above fel runes painted on the ground. Each one guarded by Felborne Sorcerer. Interact with crystal to destroy it.

This quest is a part of An Elven Problem quest chain needed for Insurrection achievement. There are some bugged links, hope all of them will be fixed soon.

Description

This portal is a problem. With it they can summon countless reserves. The crystals nearby seem to be powering the gate. If we destroy those, we can set them back significantly.

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.

  • A Better FutureSuramar · Level 45

    We must move quickly, <name>. I must save as many of my people as I can before the attack begins. Word has gotten out in the city that there is a safe haven with us and some no longer fear exile. Venture into the Grand Promenade, champion.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Powering Down the PortalSuramar · Level 45

    Destroying the crystals will stop them temporarily, but it will be meaningless if we do not deal with the person controlling the portal itself. I heard their overseer, Ingra, shouting orders for more power so that she could bring the stronger Legion lieutenants through the gate.
