Not sure if it is a patch that has messed it up, or what, because the quest is not showing up. The man is there, can speak to him, but no choice to say anthing special. I thought maybe it needed to respawn, but been there for about 30 minutes, still not there. I checked with zygor, and I am not missing any steps, so not sure what I am doing wrong. Anyone else having issues?

Description

Every year we, the denizens of Suncrown Village, would take part in a ritual to keep the different aspects of nature under our control. Dominion over the element of water was symbolized by the summoning and enslavement of an elemental named Aquantion. Through a wicked perversion of our magic, the scoundrel broke his bonds and enslaved us instead! We wore medallions shaped like waves during the ritual. Seek them at the bottom of the lake; we'll need them to free my compatriots' spirits!

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Spirits of the DrownedGhostlands · Level 1-30

    The lake to the north has been haunted by the ghosts of my ancestors for as long as I can remember, <name>. The poor souls were victims of a tragic incident in which scores of them drowned at the bottom of the lake.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vanquishing AquantionGhostlands · Level 1-30

    That willful elemental ended many lives that fateful day when he revolted against us. By calling to the lowly murloc to sabotage our rites he subverted our magic and turned it against us. Show him our thirst for vengeance has not waned!
