Description

Don't mistake the expedition's scholarly pursuits as timidness, <name>.

We are not recluses studying books in far-off towers.

We are adventurers, hunting down knowledge first-hand in every corner of Azeroth!

That passion for adventure often leads us onto the path of perils and hazards, and a few expedition members have bitten off a little more than they could chew...

He is in the air at the spot your map takes you. If you're like me looking on the ground, you won't find him. He's flying around.

Spelunker Lazee rescued
Go to the spot on your map where he should be and you'll find him hanging from a rock under your feet. You have to turn your camera at an angle to see him in the crevasse below. Jump into the hot stuff and quickly click him then run out.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the Dragon Isles!Dragon Isles · Level 10-70

    Our preliminary expedition has made landfall in the Dragon Isles. Thanks to the efforts of those brave Dragonscale Expedition members, we've established a protected landing site in the Dragon Isles and made contact with the dragonflight's embassy.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Primal PestsThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    <Cindrethresh glances suspiciously at the proto-dragons lurking on the ridge behind her.> I'd swear that those proto-dragons edge closer to camp every time I turn my back... Those are not the dragons Ebyssian invited us here to meet. Proto-dragons are ruthless predators who cannot be reasoned with.
