StorylineThe Last Sigil, step 11 of 15
Rewards25g 74s, 8,150 XP

Description

To reach the vault, we'll need to carve a path through the attacking Mawsworn. The covenants are doing their best to drive off these monstrosities, but our allies can't hold out forever. The Mawsworn are intent on reaching the prize before you. We could use your help fighting against the Jailer's forces, Maw Walker. Purpose guide us all.

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.

  • To the VaultKorthia · Level 60

    Thanks to the Bonesmith's repairs of both conduits, anima should now be flowing to the vault. That gives us a chance to get inside--assuming we can reach it. Our Maldraxxi allies have wrangled transportation to get us to and from the vault. I suggest we make haste.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keepers of KorthiaKorthia · Level 60

    We've barely held out against the Jailer's forces. Now that you're here, we can finally make some progress. I know your priority is to enter the vault, but our record keepers must also be recovered. They are the authorities about everything kept in the vault.
