Quest Log

Maintaining Focus (Horde)

Maintaining Focus is a Horde-only quest for level 50. It rewards 13,650 experience and money.

Description

At present, the focus holds but a fraction of N'Zoth's true power. If we further empower it, we could craft even more effective weapons to wield against him.

N'Zoth's influence is everywhere, <name>, and is most concentrated within powerful foes. Vanquish them and claim whatever vestiges of the Old God's power remain.

Rewards

You will receive:

Spell: Empowered Void FocusUpgrades the Void Focus to the Empowered Void Focus, allowing you to craft better equipment using resources gathered from N'Zoth's followers.

Money93

Experience13,650 XP

If you killed the world boss before getting this quest, you will not get the quest item upon a second kill within the same reset.
