If you miss the powder, after the final boss is dead and everyone else has left, die to the remaining trash and release. You'll rez on the upper level where you can get to it.

It's on a round table between the 2nd boss arena and the snail racers.

Description

I've heard rumors that the ancient drogbar collected powder from the residue of dragon's breath. If it's true that Neltharion's Lair lies somewhere below us, it seems a likely source. Go there and try to find a replacement for my powder.

Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Rokmora, Ularogg Cragshaper, Naraxas, Dargrul the Underking.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thanks for FlaskingLevel 10-45

    Here is your flask, good as new. A fair trade for those potions. Be a little more careful with your breakables next time!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Need More Powder!Level 10-45

    The substance you brought me appears to be precipitating powder, a highly volatile reagent used by the vrykul in their recipes. There are rumors that a vrykul elder named Katterin has built up quite a store of this powder. A substance this dangerous needs to be in our hands, not hers!
