I got the "You are unable to do this right now" bug or some version thereof. I tried reloading my UI, logging in and out, and exiting completely then coming back in. The solution? I fed First Arcanist Thalyssra her daily fix of 50 mana and just like that - I was able to turn my quest in. Just an FYI for anyone who may be looking for an answer! ((I was on Google for 10 minutes looking and nothing!))

Description

You have done well for us here, but it is time for you to return to Thalyssra. There is a teleporter pad nearby that has gone unused in recent years. See if you can reroute it and return to her that way. Oh, and before you go: <Vanthir hands you a wrapped bottle of Arcwine.> Take this to her, with my thanks for sending you. Let her know that your efforts helped replenish our Arcwine supplies and reunited a mother and child. We are grateful beyond measure. Farewell for now.

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.

  • Little One LostSuramar · Level 45

    I'm ready to go home now, but there are still scary men outside... Will you stay with me? Make sure they don't take me away? I don't want to go back in the cage...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thalyssra's AbodeSuramar · Level 45

    While you were busy in the city I reached a roadblock in my withered research. I feel I am close to overcoming this barrier, but I'm afraid I cannot do so without some more advanced tools. I hid among my possessions an item called an Arcane Amplifier. It does precisely what its name entails.
