This quest seems to be bugged out for me.

I can't complete the last step - analyzing the relic. Tried logging in and out, disabling addons and abandoning the quest.

Update: Right clicking as Aeryne suggeste fixed the issue

Description

My name is Nirobin. It is worth remembering, as I am a genius in the field of arcane codicology! Quite an accolade, if I say so myself... and I do say so! I've spent countless hours fusing blue and bronze dragon magic to investigate history like never before. Today, you and I will experience the results of my effort! Let's start by using my instruments on a fabulously preserved goblet uncovered from the Forbidden Reach.

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.

  • Nirobin and the OfficeLevel 70

    Perhaps there is more to investigate, but I need time to go over our findings here first. Our colleague, Nirobin, the one arcane projecting himself into the headquarters, should be ready for your assistance by now.

After this quest

  • Lab Partners with a SquirrelLevel 70

    I have finally brought history itself to life! I am a success! Now let's utilize your particular set of skills. Chiefly, I require your ability to go outside without dying of fright.
