Entrance to the Serpent's Coil is at roughly 60,29. You really do have to fight through all the mobs and go to the back of the cave. Once you've done it once and met with Kasim, he will give you access to his teleporters. There is a stone in the back of the cave where he is, and one right outside the entrance to the Serpent's Coil.

Description

I need you to pass on a message for me. Kasim Sharim is an old blood mage that knows a great deal about the demons of the Blasted Lands. Though you wouldn't know from looking at him, he's quite old, and very powerful... if a little eccentric. As of late, he spends his days in the back of the Serpent's Coil, a cave not far from where you killed those cultists. Please, deliver this message to him. He will know what it means.

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.

  • Cultists at our DoorstepBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

    You may have already run into some of the Shadowsworn cultists that dwell in the caves just to the southwest of Nethergarde. They do not impress an immediate danger upon our fortress, but I fear that they are planning something more dreadful than you can imagine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Attune the BloodstoneBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

    Did you have fun fighting your way to the back of this cave? I admit, I haven't picked the most... convenient of spots to perform my studies, especially for passing adventurers who wish to enter and leave at will. However, I can allow you to attune yourself to my bloodstone teleporters.
