Description

I will also need you to call upon Exarch Hataaru. I understand you were helping him with our defenses at the gate. Hataaru is our Chief Artificer - he understands our technology better than any other and has been working tirelessly to recreate the glory of the civilization we left behind. He has moved to his workstation outside of the Elodor Dig, our crystal mines located just to the Southeast. Look for him at the mine entrance.

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.

  • Fun with FungusShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    It is our mission as rangari to explore and understand this world. Around you is the Umberfen. Many draenei lost their lives when we first discovered this place. The volatile spores burst whenever anyone approaches. But we watched... and we learned.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Engorged GorenShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    You must be the <class> that so impressed Exarch Hataaru. Can you help? The Elodor Dig just behind me is overrun by strange stone creatures. These so-called goren actually devour minerals, metabolize them, and grow crystalline structures from their arms and back.
