The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Just a reminder you cannot do quests in mythic+ dungeons, so you will not get credit for Dargrul and you will be unable to loot the spear.
The quest and the map location doesnt make it really clear, but you need to do the dungeon for this quest.

What to do
Description
I've been looking into the history of Huln Highmountain, a legendary warrior from the War of the Ancients whom this very land is named after. Allegedly some of his personal effects were carried here after his death and have been lost in time. After some digging around I believe I have discovered the location of one of his artifacts to be in a place called Neltharion's Lair. I'm no fighter, {name}, but you are. Will you go and recover this artifact for me?

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Surveying Student
The reason I sent for someone was that I've been having trouble keeping up with my research and training my assistant. I was hoping you might be able to show him the ropes again. Get him reacquainted with surveying. Just speak with him when you're ready to go.
