Quest Log

Professionally Good Looking

Professionally Good Looking is a quest for level 45. It is step 6 of 10 in the Xylem Challenge storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azshara at 25.0, 38.5. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

The archmage has recently locked himself away in his tower. If you wish to enter, you'll need help from some of his apprentices. I'm afraid you won't get it dressed like that.

Xylem has a thing for... outfits, and his apprentices use them to show rank. If you wish his apprentices to help you, you'll need to appear their superior. Such is their desire to impress the archmage, many of his apprentices will battle each other for the best pieces.

I think you know where this is going.

The apprentices aren't phased - you may end up standing around for a while waiting for them to respawn because someone else just bested them.
Have "fun".
