Dire Learning

Dire Learning is a quest for level 60 in Maldraxxus, added in Shadowlands. It rewards money.

Description

Necromancers and liches often use powerful tomes to assist in their rituals. Now that the House of Rituals has expanded their reach, the tomes can be found anywhere where their members are active.

Find these books and destroy them. It won't end their vile experiments but it should at least delay them.

This quest is actually very easy to do if youve got the disguise from doing the quest during the Necrolord campaign. However I'm not sure what the deal is with the reward as I've have never seen the 500 anima you people are talking about, I got 3*35 anima.

Edit: As this quest has been hotfixed, I now know what the deal is.

Quest is a waste of time, every Tome is around multiple mobs you have to kill , some are even elite. And you dont even get Rep for the Quest. In the same Time you can finish every world quest in the zone and get more rewards.
