Invisible Ramparts

Invisible Ramparts is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-40 in Shadowmoon Valley. It is step 3 of 18 in The Exarch Council storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Shadowmoon Valley at 56.8, 34.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 5,450 experience and money.

Description

Exarch Akama is too cautious, but we shouldn't ignore a threat from the Shadowmoon clan. It is good you are here!

Since we arrived on Draenor I have dedicated myself to recreating the technology we left behind. This large structure here is a defense ward. It should counter a Shadowmoon advance - provided we power it up.

I have prepared resonance crystals at my workshop to the south. Carry one crystal at a time to the three pylons that surround the ward, then activate the control panel nearby!

In case you're not watching where the quest giver ran off too,

Coords for Charged Resonance Crystal: 56.34.
Outside and to the left of the building that contains the Defense Pylon Central Control Console.

This will give you a buff that lasts for about a minute after you click, so nothing will be in your bags or on the Quest tracker for you to interact with. After you "run the crystal" to the pylons, which look like spears in the ground? the buff disappears, you pick up the buff again and take it to the next pylon.

You don't have to dismount to do this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DefenstrationsShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    No sooner does power rush to the crystal outside than you hear distant war cries and shouts of alarm. Elodor is being attacked! If you want your laborers to come home in one piece, you'd best help with the defense of the town.
