Description

Lo'Gosh granted me a vision while you were in the hovel, {name}. I saw you striding across the Lightning Ledge, with lightning bolts in your hand. The vision was powerful: Lo'Gosh feels this is of utmost importance. We must not fail the ancient. Upon the Lightning Ledge, Twilight's Hammer has been experimenting with devices they call "Lightning Channels."

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.

  • 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.
