Description

I cannot stand by idly and allow the Legion to destroy our home.

I've been studying their language for some time, deciphering any runes I can get my hands on, but my supply is severely limited.

If I had more runes to study, it's possible that I may discover something that will help us in locating Balnazzar.

My pick would be to farm these runes from the onslaught of demons attacking the Illidari Stand in Azsuna. This is a good spot because

The demons are running towards the base continously

The demons are not tapped, you share kills with others that farm

At the Illidari Stand there is a shadow bolt tower that tears the demons apart (if you stand close enough)

1. Fly to Illidari Stand, Azsuna.
2. Stand at pylon at /way 42.8, 43.6.
3. Use this macro to mouseover cast it on all the hostile mobs within reach. The ones that aren't fighting anyone will run toward you.
/cast [@mouseover] Shadow Word: Pain
4. Watch apathetically while your pylon kills them in seconds.
5. Loot.

In Val'sharah is the best place in Remix. The imps don't have much hp and respawn fairly quickly. Some of the other examples like the Illadari stand pylon don't seem as good as you (now?) need to get the last hit

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Recruiting More TroopsLevel 10-45
Word of your leadership has spread rather fast. Priests of all sorts have traveled to the temple to lend their aid. We're lucky enough to have caught the eye of Vicar Eliza. She's quite the leader in her own right, commanding countless devotees that do her bidding without question. Speak to her now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Awakening the LightLevel 10-45
This spark will only know its full potential once it's been filled with pure Light, gleaned from the holiest places in our world. Nurture this spark, and it may grow to walk among you.
