If you're like me and wondering whether you should complete this now or save the flightstones for some gear more worthy of upgrading, you get 100 flightstones as a reward for completing this.

Description

This land holds so many secrets. And even more power! And you... we both know you enjoy unraveling secrets and collecting marvelous gear. And when you're ready to unlock the power of gear you find in this new land, come visit Cuzolth and me. We are experimenting and will be able to upgrade your gear by the time you come back. Please bring me some Flightstones and a new item so I can show you how these upgrades work.

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.
