Because the other comments didn't help me:

You're looking for Thomas Zelling. First, go to (70, 85.5) when looking at the map of Boralus (not Tirsgarde Sound). You will see a small cellar; go down there and you might see a portal called "Portal to Plunder Harbor". Don't go in there. It might take a few seconds for Thomas Zelling to show on your screen to turn in the quests. This is where I messed up.

If one of the summoners is bugged out on your server like it was on mine and you can't attack the elemental to get the key, just try phasing to another server by joining any group in the group finder. That worked for me and a rogue on my server. I was able to invite him while phased to the other server so we could both get completion credit.

Description

There is a reason why I am accompanying you on this mission, and it's more than familiarity. The Abyssal Scepter is locked behind a ritual, the components for which are held by three separate lieutenants spread across the compound. You get the relics, I perform the ritual, we grab the Scepter and we get out.

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.

  • A Well Placed PortalLevel 50

    We have the front here under control. I am sending you and Zelling into Boralus to acquire the Abyssal Scepter. Oculeth has managed to pinpoint a safe location for a portal. Get moving.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tidesage TeachingsLevel 50

    These people are not tidesages anymore. They do not deserve to bear our title, our prestige, or our knowledge. So many of our teachings lay scattered around this monastery, potentially lost to those of us that remain. We must reclaim these writings. Better in my hands than theirs.
