Description

We'll need arcane parchment to make the scroll. The arcane energy everywhere at this nexus froze the ancients in place and settled in their bark. If we take pieces from the few that haven't been destroyed by the fungal creatures, I can mold them into parchment.

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.

  • Creating the InkTalador · Level 20-40

    We need a way to create an artificial nexus at your tower. I know where we can get the conduit to do that, but it's well-guarded. We need to keep our cool and do this the right way. I have a plan - a scroll of mass teleportation.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gathering the SparkTalador · Level 20-40

    We need arcane energy to complete our scroll. It needs that to coalesce the scroll together. I have an artifact that can capture energy vortexes in the caldera below, so let's get moving.
