If you're looking here you probably didn't notice that your action bar gets changed, showing three options: + for yes, - for no, and an orb to dismiss the Orb of Ascension.

No need to spend two or three or four deaths using emotes or /say to try to answer the thing.

Description

You might think you're ready to receive the knowledge we're to impart on you. But you are not. Think of your mind as a box inside a series of other boxes. Each step of our training will open one of those boxes, until you are ready to achieve direct communion with the elements. Take the Core of Ascension and answer all questions it asks of you, truthfully. Failing to do so could be... fatal.

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.

  • Agility Training: Run Like Hell!Mount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Before we go any further, we're going to have to get you into shape. Devotion to the Old Gods is not going to save you when some emerald dragon comes chasing after you. You need to be fleet of foot, if you catch my drift. Enough said. We'll summon your trainer...

After this quest

  • Walking the DogMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Hmmmphh.... it seems they'll let anyone in these days. Very well. You doubtlessly became acquainted with Smolderos in the proving grounds. Well, I've been entrusted with the care of one of his pups.
