If you're like me, you've hated the archeology quests so far in Legion and came here to see if you're going to do this one.

This one rewards the pet [npc=106232]. The quest chain is really straightforward you run around doing Demon digsites in Azsuna for Bran till you get 10 fragments. The digsites really vary, some are easy some are super hard and full of mobs (there is one with Elites on Isle of the Watchers and some in Faronaar smack dab in a bunch of demons). It took me a ton of digsites, I was averaging slightly less than 1 fragment per digsite (each digsite nowadays has 9 digs) so it was hard to ignore the ones I didn't want to do.

So a real straightforward quest chain, a ton of digging and some in places where you might die if you aren't careful (depending on gear level and class/spec) for a pet. Up to you to decide if it's worth it or not.

edit: Have done this on several toons now and the digsites needed really varies (good 'ol RNG). So can be really quick, I think the numbers I quoted earlier was probably the longer.

The digsites you want to stay away from if you can are Northern Watcher Isle and Southern Watcher Isle. Northern has a bunch of elites and Southern has a bunch of really buggy murloc groups (evading, stuck in rocks, etc) and in both places Blizz likes to put the digs under a bunch of mobs.

Description

Oh hello, {name}. I tell you, ever since I was given this shop, it's been nothing but a headache. I can't seem to ever find what I'm looking for. Which reminds me, Brann Bronzebeard has sent for you. He's in Azsuna tracking down more pieces of whatever it is he's searching for. Now where'd those pewter drinking cups go...

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.

  • And Into the Fel FireLevel 45

    I found something, <name>. Well, a couple of things actually. First I found an ancient text talking about a demon who harnessed the power of the titan disc I've been searching for. Then I found a device which supposedly is used to summon 'im! Only, it's missin' some pieces from what I can make out.
