Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The priestess tells me that the ruins to the west are what's left of a night elf civilization. That got me thinking about what my pappy used to always say about night elf ruins, "Sonny, whenever you see night elf ruins, night elf relics are sure to be close by." Now what kind of a dwarf would I be if I didn't hire the first person I saw to go digging up night elf relics for me? Now get going!

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.

  • Reclaiming the RuinsAzuremyst Isle · Level 1-30

    While some may look at our current predicament as an unfortunate turn of events, I sense that we are here for a reason. The invisible hand of fate has pushed us in this direction. The reason why will become evident in time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • I've Got a PlantAzuremyst Isle · Level 1-30

    I've wondered about this for some time now, but this proves it to be true. There is a traitor among us. The plans left behind by the goblins document the conspiracy. Since I don't know who it could be, I'm going to need your help in finding the traitor. None of my crew can be trusted.
