Hey guys, so apparently this quest chain isn't required for the "Lorerunner of Suramar" achievement in Legion Remix.

I couldn't get it to work so ignored it and did the other quests, and still got the achievement. I just wanted to let people know in case that was the only reason they wanted to get this quest done.

Legion Remix: I had no dialogue options to start the ritual, I used Nostwin's Voucher [item=217930] to get to the Bazar, activated the heroic game mode and went back again using Nostwin's Voucher. It worked.

Description

It is time to embrace the future. I have mastered every magic known to our kind. I will master this one. By applying the principles of arcane magic it is fairly trivial to control the primitive fel energies within the material you have given me. I need to move to live prey next. Let us start with a small summoning. Defeat the creature for me and watch how a true scholar works!

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.

  • The Road to FelSuramar · Level 45

    An early step to understanding how magic works is to understand and study materials made using that magic. That was how I made my breakthrough on warlock soul crystals, after all. The wyrmtongue minions in this pit hammer plates into their structures for support and maintenance.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Black TomeSuramar · Level 45

    I have made a great discovery, <name>. There is a powerful warlock in the Soul Engine, in possession of a powerful tome. It contains forbidden secrets to summoning the most powerful of demons. Even the Legion is afraid to call on these fel lords, but now I possess knowledge beyond theirs.
