What to do
Description
See, Ricket offered to dig it up, but the Arathi expedition lady didn't seem too keen on that. Gave 'er an earful. Could hear it from the airship. Yeesh. Bargus, the earthen "ordinant"--whatever that means-- proposed scanning the crystal to help us "understand it better." I don't need to understand it. All I need's my cut. But I'm fine layin' low and doin' what they want. Go talk to Bargus at the earthen camp. See how they're comin' along an' if we can help.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Siren Isle!
The Siren Isle is a myst'ry. A potentially profitable one. My crew thought they hit it big when they found a deserted island with some strange, singin' crystal...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Scan a Crystal
In order to understand the "singing crystal" at the heart of the island, we will need some special machinery. We have forged a device to scan its exposed facets, but the crystal's energies are far too complex to read. It has a highly unusual energy signature.
