Crystal Eyes

Crystal Eyes is a quest for level 45. It is step 2 of 3 in the Legion Archaeology storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 46.9, 60.4. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

I've delved into the caves here and have discovered many ancient writings.

The most interesting I've found are resonating crystals, where the drogbar have resided. Unfortunately, they aren't on very good terms with the tauren here and this has hindered my research.

I thought, should there be any trouble with the drogbar, that you'd be able to handle them.

I'd like you to continue my research and discover what you can about Huln.

Well, you need to obtain 3 Highmountain Ritual-Stone to each different Crystal. You could obtain this keystone from:


  • Surveying digsites



  • Pristine quests




  • Buying from Auction House.


It could take a while...

When you have three Highmountain Ritual-Stone, click on those Crystal and a dialogue option will appear: "Place the three Highmountain Ritual-Stones into the crystal." Confirm that and it will count on the quest.

The quest description says we have to interact with the five different resonating stones in Highmountain, but actually we need to interact with 2 of them.

After you place the three ritual-stones into two crystals, the quest is done and then you need to go back to Lessah Moonwater to deliver the quest and accept the other one: Drogbar Deception.

The alliance quest got the same name: Crystal Eyes, which is part of This Side Up

You will need 3 Highmountain Ritual-Stone to activate the crystal which is at:

/way Highmountain 41.64, 46.94 Cave Entrance!

To get these keystones you will need to:


  • Survey some digsites which are showing on map

  • Buy it on Auction House.

After you got all Highmountain Ritual-Stone, some words will appear:

The crystal has three empty slots carved into it
Place the three Highmountain Ritual-Stones into the crystal.
This will remove all your Highmountain Ritual-Stone. Are you sure?

Then you complete part of your quest, it will show for you as Mucksnout Den Crystal 1/1.

The next part, which you need to get Rockcrawler Chasm Crystal is located at Rockcrawler Chasm.

/way Highmountain 48.07, 33.85 Rockcrawler Chasm Cave Entrance

You will see the same crystal at the entrance of cave. For complete this quest you will need more 3 Highmountain Ritual-Stone!

The same message will appear:

The crystal has three empty slots carved into it
Place the three Highmountain Ritual-Stones into the crystal.
This will remove all your Highmountain Ritual-Stone. Are you sure?

Then you complete the quest.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New LeadLevel 45

    <name>, Lessah in Highmountain has been asking for you. Apparently she's caught a lead on some ancient piece of armor that Huln Highmountain used to wear. When you can, make your way out to her.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Drogbar DeceptionLevel 45

    According to my research and the information you gave me, I've isolated the location of the necklace. It's deep in a drogbar cave, and I'm willing to bet they're not just going to hand it over to you, <name>. I need you to recover that necklace at any cost.
