Description

The energy from Aluneth lashes out from within the weakened Nexus Vault. We may be able to use this raw, chaotic energy to our advantage. If we can harness this energy and feed it into the Surge Needles, it should cause a rather... destructive reaction.

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.

  • Eyes of the DragonLevel 10-45

    You should travel at once to Coldarra in Borean Tundra, <name>. There, I would recommend you scout out a few key locations and report back to me. I know the area well, and should be able to tell you how to proceed. Make haste!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arcane UnleashedLevel 10-45

    You have the power you need to destroy the Surge Needles. At the location of the breaches where the Surge Needles pierce the ground, there will be a large concentration of void energy. Focus the power of Aluneth into these points.
