"I have an artifact that can capture energy vortexes in the caldera below, so let's get moving."

"A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. The word comes from Spanish caldera, and this from Latin caldaria, meaning "cooking pot." source

Figured it out. There are 3 different balls in different locations. You can only harvest the energy from a ball once. The 3rd ball is in a cave in the northern part of the area. The quest map doesn't help as it shows the entire area as a possible drop.

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.

  • Forming the ScrollTalador · Level 20-40

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Next StepsTalador · Level 20-40

    We did it! We have all of the reagents for the scroll. Your arcane sanctum will be the talk of Draenor before long. I'll go back to Fort Wrynn to finish it and gather your men. Meet me there.
