Inside the temple is a GREAT place to farm gold, greens, and especially Embersilk Cloth.

the 85 elites are fighting Ancestral Guardians. On my hunter I just pop multi-shot and the Ancestral falls to the ground and also drops half a gold plus 1-2 Embersilk in addition to what the elite drops.

They respawn very fast and are spread out enough that you won't accidentally run into multiple mobs.

Description

Alright, {name}, here's what I've learned. There's a titan device deep in a place called the Halls of Origination. It's meant to be an emergency reset switch for all life on Azeroth. If activated, it will destroy every living thing in the world! Now, it's only meant to be used under certain extreme conditions, but if Deathwing is able to corrupt the titan watchers, he could use the contents of the coffer to trigger the device. Go to the Obelisk of the Moon, {name}. Slow them down!

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • CamelraderieUldum · Level 30-35

    Greetings, friend! You are always most welcome in my humble tent. Looking for something to do? Sullah has just the thing! Camels are good to have in hand regardless, but when putting together a performance the likes of my sideshow, they are an absolute must!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Missing PiecesUldum · Level 30-35

    There are just a few specific pieces of information that I'm missing. Once those blanks are filled, we'll be ready to activate the final obelisk. Then, it'll be a race to discover the Coffer of Promise before Schnottz and his cronies can. Those fools are excavating this site as fast as they can.
