Quest Log

Nespirah

Nespirah is a quest for level 30-35 in Shimmering Expanse. It is step 60 of 149 in the Vashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 600 experience and money.

Description

It is clear to me at this point what must be done, <name>.

The naga can only be obtaining these pearls from one place: Nespirah, the ancient, shelled creature that rests outside of this cave. Why Nespirah would submit to the naga, however, is beyond my understanding.

We can enter Nespirah's body cavity through a small tube near the exit to this cave. I must first fetch my master, then we can meet you on the inside. We will convene in Nespirah's northwestern entrance.

if you cann't communicate with nespirah, you have to go out, then again go in, but DON'T mount up. tauren Earthmender Duarn <The Earthen RIng> will appears. Follow him to that little cave (entrance is next to big entrance to Nespirah) with that thing which looks like brain and wait for him here, it will complete your quest and will give you another.

I had trouble with this forever.

Once you pick up the quest, go talk to the 'Flight Master' and select the 'I need to go to Nespirah' option (wording is not exact). The flight master will drop you at the end of the tunnel. <Do not mount up> Run inside and wait, as you enter the room the two Earthen Ring guys will appear, follow them into the brain room and wait. The quest will complete and another will become available.

Hope this helps.

Ok, so I have done this several times trying different methods to make sure of exactly what the issue is with this quest. It took watching the one video posted here on it and I just about missed the key.

It has NOTHING to do with anything other than you have to STOP directly before but between the two trident lights that you come to first. Out of everything I tried nothing else mattered and I was even mounted when I tried it a couple times.

Seriously mount or not just stop just before them in a centered position. The two guys should spawn right away. Then follow them and turn in the quest because they do de-spawn I found if you wait too long... like posting an update to this.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fathom-Lord Zin'jatarShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    The Fathom-Lord is here, at the far side of the ruins. He's still injured from our last battle. I'll leave this pleasure to you. Make sure he doesn't get away this time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Making ContactShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    I can't believe that Nespirah would willingly allow these naga to take residence inside her shell. As I see it, one of two things has happened: they have convinced her to willingly join their cause, or they have weakened her to a point where she cannot fight back. Either one is bad.
