Quest Log

Mass Milling Techniques

Mass Milling Techniques is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 34 of 42 in the Legion Inscription storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dalaran at 46.7, 40.8. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

A number of my previous students have been vocal in their displeasure regarding milling. They find the process "repetitive", "mindless", and even "painful". Have they no respect for the time-honored traditions of inscription?

I suppose you count yourself among their number. Am I right? Very well. You've been a fine student so far, so I suppose there's no harm.

I have a book about mass milling somewhere around the shop here. Find it, and it's yours.

When you are doing the final stage of the quest, where you're using the Runed Ladder, your camera should track the latter as it floats upwards. If it does not, exit the vehicle and click on it again until your camera begins to follow it. You'll find the book very easily after this.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Legacy Passed OnLevel 10-45

    I've lost my passion, scribe. I just can't find the voice of my characters anymore. Take a look at that unfinished book over there on the table. I can't seem to finish it. Maybe you'll have an easier time with it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Aethrem CrystalLevel 10-45

    <Most aethril has a sharp crystalline fiber in the center of the bloom, but this one is particularly well-developed.> <Professor Pallin would be interested in seeing this.>

The storyline at a glance

Legion Inscription has 42 steps, from Sign This to Demon Ink.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (18), Azsuna (15), Stormheim (4), Ironforge (2).
