I was stuck after doing Field Work. Harrison Jones didn't give me another quest. If you are facing Harrison Jones, you will find a very small silver disk in the sand to your left. You have to just go a little ways (coords 64.9, 29.5) and once you mouseover, it will pop up with a quest and you can continue the quest line.

Hope this helps someone.

StorylineUldum, step 49 of 101
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

This unfortunate pygmy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As you ponder his bad luck, you take notice of the symbols covering his shield - far too elaborate for pygmy scrawl. Confident that Doctor Jones will find such objects of interest, you set out to find more fragments like this one.

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.

  • Exploding ThroughUldum · Level 30-35

    What a find! Right here... exactly where my notes predicted it would be. With any luck, inside this chamber will lie clues to the location of the legendary Coffer of the Promise. That's right, <name>. It's not just a myth. I believe it truly exists. I'll explain more later.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Strange DiscUldum · Level 30-35

    The etching around the surface of this object indicates that it is of ancient origins, and yet no signs of wear can be detected. A hole on its edge, full of splintered wood, indicates that it is meant to be put atop a wooden staff of some sort.
