Quest Log

Recharging the Blade

Recharging the Blade is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 5 of 9 in The Elemental Lords I storyline. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

You have recovered the Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, and with it you hold all that is left of the soul of Prince Thunderaan.

Thunderfury can be restored, but it will require a rare essence known as the Heart of Skywall.

Vortos, the Duke of the East Winds, possesses the heart... but he will not give it willingly.

Vortos must be defeated, and the Heart of Skywall must be combined with the blade.

Only then can Thunderaan return and claim the Throne of Four Winds.

If you have to drop this quest, it can be found again in Vortex Pinnacle from [npc=104797].
Also, to use the Slipstream, be sure to combine the [item=139000] with the [item=135589].

If you, like me, have punged to your death and are wondering why the slipstream isn't working: Click the quest item in your inventory, then you'll be able to right click the slipstream.

After defeating [npc=104751], to combine the [item=135589] to [item=139000], simply open your inventory, and right-click (i.e. use) the [item=135589].
This will activate the [npc=104650] for you to leap across the platforms.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Skies AboveLevel 10-45
There has been no Windlord to lead the air elementals since the death of Al'Akir. The realm of Skywall has been thrown into turmoil. The throne of Al'Akir is Thunderaan's by right, but what remains of the prince's essence within Thunderfury is diminishing.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Traversing the HeavensLevel 10-45
If you are not opposed, <name>, I would accompany you on your journey through Skywall. There are wonders here that my eyes have never before beheld, and it would be my great honor to join you. Our quest to resurrect the mighty Thunderaan and unite the four great elemental lords will be no easy task.
