Quest Log

Maintaining Focus (Alliance)

Maintaining Focus is an Alliance-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.

The only World Boss that rewards a Shred of Insanity is from the weekly N'Zoth Assault

The quest description claims you can get the quest items (shreds of insanity) from world bosses and winning battlegrounds. Well, after doing a few of both, I haven't gotten a single one.
Got 1 from each wing of the Ny'alotha raid, though, lfr difficulty.
