At the top of the parchment appears the name Antonidas, scribbled in large, sloppy letters.> Ah hah! Here it is! Bit of a trek, but a few of those old magic users can be found... here. <Pointing to a spot on the map.> Maybe they have somethin' tae offer.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Old StoneThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    This stone behind me is just one piece of, what do ye call it--ancient technology--we stumbled upon here in the Isles. But, we're not entirely sure what they are just yet. Baffling, really. We've sent word to some friends to see if they can help.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Gateway to SomewhereThe Azure Span · Level 10-70

    The enchantment will protect us from the unstable energy contained within. I will open the way to the nearest stone. Once you pass through, stay close. I shall need your assistance when we arrive to power up the device.
