Description

Great job on that small find! Now, are you ready for something big?

More often than not, shaking up the small stuff will shake up something even BIGGER just below the surface. Another little rumble, and we'll have a major find on our hands, I can feel it.

A major find works almost the same as the smaller ones with a couple extra steps. Why don't you tackle this one too? It'll be good practice for ya.

Don't worry! I can guide you through it.

This quest appears to be bugged. The water puddles disappear at about 75% and then the status bar resets to zero. Good job Blizzard!

To many people trying to do the same quest I think Blizzard didnt even test this quest out. I will wait and do it when others are done lol.

This has to be one of the worst Quests ever. It is either buggy as hell, server lag, other people screwing you or all of the above.

We've got a find on our hands! Looks like this might be one of my books from undergrad. Hah! Now, your job is to get all that dirt off of it, but you have to be careful.
