StorylineBorean Tundra, step 93 of 182
RewardsCharred Drakehide Belt, Flame-Infused Bindings, Helm of the Crimson Drakonid, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The blues have begun to cover their drakes in mysterious runes. I must discover their significance. <Raelorasz pokes his hand with a spear and coats the tip with his blood.> Take this and use it on one of them. Wait for it to become subdued, then bring it here to me before it expires. Their hatchlings feed around the northwest edge of the valley.

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.

  • Hatching a PlanBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Our goals here are simple. We are to remain hidden from Malygos, observe his brood, and thwart his efforts wherever possible. To that end, I have a task for you. The blues are laying their eggs at the base of the Nexus.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cracking the CodeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I sense a distinct peculiarity in the drakes here but the meaning of the runes that cover their bodies still eludes me. Without a codex, it will take more time than we can afford for me to interpret them.
