Description

The nerubians are harvesting Black Blood nearby. If allowed to persist, the corruption caused by excavating the veins may spread. It will continue until it consumes everything. I have no intention of sitting and waiting for it to taint the roots. I am trying to learn and understand their methods... so that I may strike at the heart of the operation. You're welcome to join me. If, of course, you would also prefer your world not to drown in oozing pools of Black Blood.

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.

  • Tool of AttunementAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    The nerubians must have some means of cleansing themselves after Black Blood exposure. If they did not, they would not have been so successful in their harvesting operation. If necessary, I can pick up on the harmony of this world with ease to restore my mind to this reality.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Resounding RepercussionsAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    I did not mean for... <Orweyna's eyes narrow.> Fetch him, <name>. You were exposed to the Black Blood, too. But Hannan took most of it. He has entered the Unseeming, his mind shifted to a realm beyond our eyes through exposure to the Black Blood.
