I just hit 110 on my mage alt and when I went to deliver the quest Khadgar was no where to be seen.

I believe this is a known bug and the only way I got it to work was to go to Krasus Landing (Khadgar moved there), do the Broken Shore scenario and then go back and deliver this quest.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

Description

For the last 10,000 years, the elven city of Suramar has been sealed in an arcane barrier, much like Dalaran once was. That barrier has come down. Since then, waves of magical energy have been emanating from the city like ripples in a pond. It was in these waves that I sensed a pattern. A spell, encrypted among the chaos. I have recreated the spell here. It's not dangerous, but beyond that... I have no idea what it does!

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

  • Khadgar's DiscoverySuramar · Level 45

    Champion! Please come to the Violet Citadel immediately. I have made a discovery that I would like to share with you before the Council of Six.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Trail of EchoesSuramar · Level 45

    The Nightborne could prove powerful allies against the Legion. We must aid this Thalyssra if we can. We should be able to find her by tracking her magical echoes, the same way I found her distress call. I can teleport you near the location where she recorded that message.
