Quest Log

Frozen in Time

Frozen in Time is a quest for level 8-45. It is step 10 of 20 in the Vault of the Wardens storyline. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

The Wardens kept all kinds of dangerous monsters locked up within this Vault. Now that Gul'dan's forces have breached the walls, it's proving rather... inconvenient.

Many of our forces are occupied with containing a fearsome magma destroyer in the southern chamber. With us freshly awoken from stasis, we don't have the means to take it down. However, we might be able to reactivate the room's containment field.

Go join up with Kayn. Do whatever it takes to seal that chamber!

It's a fairly easy quest, walk around the platform and activate the 3 ice spheres, and you're done. Then the boss is frozen again.
