Just as a small note that might help someone:

Don't mistake Spellbinders with SpellWEAVERS. You need the mage-looking dudes with dogs patroling along with them and not the half-dragon monsters. I was trying to get it to drop from Spellweavers and when i realised that i was mistaken, i killed a Spellbinder and it dropped immediately ^^

Something about this scrap of metal prevents you from casting it aside. Perhaps Raelorasz might be able to shed some light on its purpose.

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.

  • Cracking the CodeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I sense a distinct peculiarity in the drakes here but the meaning of the runes that cover their bodies still eludes me. Without a codex, it will take more time than we can afford for me to interpret them.

After this quest

  • The CellBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    You've discovered a fragment of a special prison, <name>. Malygos' minions use similar prisons to hold their captured mages and other arcane entities, but this prison was constructed to hold something... stronger.
