Description

When I prayed at the shrine, Goldrinn granted me another vision. I saw you standing astride the Lightning Ledge, with lightning in your hands. Goldrinn seems to feel that this is of the utmost importance, but I don't understand what the ancient has planned... {name}, go to the Lightning Ledge. Twilight's Hammer has been running experiments with something called a "Lightning Channel." Investigate these channels, then use this totem to summon the Spirit of Goldrinn and see what he has in mind...

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleaning HouseMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    We are well on our way to returning the shrine to its former glory, <name>. But there is some housecleaning to take care of. On the other side of this meadow, some ogre squatters are setting up camp, led by a thick-headed chunk of ugly by the name of Gar'gol.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gar'gol's Gotta GoMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    <Kristoff cranes his neck, trying to look you in the eye.> Listen, you gotta get me outta here. They're either going to eat me or turn me over to the Twilight's Hammer. Maybe both. They've padlocked me in, and Gar'gol keeps the key in his personal treasure chest.
