Description

These proto-drakes are unlike any I've seen before on Azeroth. Their scales appear to be naturally flame-resistant, stronger than steel, and don't lose flexibility in the process. Incredible. My artisans--all of them--are clamoring to get their hands on some of those scales to work with. Start with the whelps. The smaller scales should be more pliable until we've mastered our techniques with them.

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.

  • Primal PestsThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    <Cindrethresh glances suspiciously at the proto-dragons lurking on the ridge behind her.> I'd swear that those proto-dragons edge closer to camp every time I turn my back... Those are not the dragons Ebyssian invited us here to meet. Proto-dragons are ruthless predators who cannot be reasoned with.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where is Wrathion?The Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    How unusual. Ebyssian told us that Wrathion would be awaiting our arrival along with an ambassador for Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, Queen of the Dragons. It isn't like a dragon to break a promise. At least this eager drakonid is here to greet us.
