Description

For this plan to work, we'll need infused parchment. The latent arcane energy at this nexus quickly froze the ancients in place and settled in their bark. If we rip off strips from the few that haven't been destroyed by the fungal creatures, I can form 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're going to need a way to create an artificial nexus at your tower. I know where we can get what we need, but it's heavily protected. We don't have the firepower to just waltz in the front door. 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 to get our hands on arcane energy to complete our scroll. It needs that fiery kick. I have a device capable of capturing energy in the space below, so let's get moving. The infused creatures shouldn't be an issue for the two of us.
