The Ancient Amber Chunk is a chunk of yellow rock at the bottom of the Terrace of Gurthan. It's not in any cave, so if you're without flight at this stage then you must explore. The coordinates are 70.3,25.7

Description

Take... this... <The dying mantid struggles to outstretch his arm. In his mangled grasp rests a metal fork with two long, thin prongs and an ornately jeweled handle.> Awaken... the Wind-Reaver... It is the only way... to end the swarm.

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.

  • Psycho MantidDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    You aren't going to believe what I saw! Two mantid fighting each other, whipping some serious magic back and forth. One of them didn't look like any mantid I've ever seen. Completely different color and dress to him, like some kind of... oracle or something.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wakening SicknessDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    You will forgive my current state. I have slept for many years. A Klaxxi'va should have been here to attend my Wakening with kypari sap... but you will have to do. I sense the buzzing of sapflies to the south. They gorge on the nourishing sap I need. Bring them to me.
