Description

I'm feeling slightly less wobbly now, so I'm going to start setting up the level for my final measurements here. There's one last thing I need from you. There's a seismograph set up deep within Thelgen Rock to record any movements in the earth. If things have been continuing to shift since the cataclysm, this'll tell us. The seismograph's at the very bottom of the cave; find it and bring the record it's created back to me.

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.

  • Get Out Of Here, StalkersWetlands · Level 10-30

    Thelgen Rock's an important site here. We need to use it to study the bedrock formations an' such. Of course, it can't be that easy, so Thelgen Rock's also full of giant cave stalkers. Big as a dwarf and twice as hungry.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Incendicite OreWetlands · Level 10-30

    Thelgen Rock over yonder is something of a natural wonder. It's the only known source of incendicite in the world! The stuff's rare, highly sought, and ridiculously explosive. Hit it with a steel mining pick and you'll set off a fireworks show that'll put a room full of goblins to shame.
