Description

With the scepter in hand, let us return to the portal. I believe Stone would agree with me when I say that it is best for us to get away from Kul Tiras for a while.

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.

  • Gaining the Upper HandLevel 50

    We need to retrieve the Abyssal Scepter and get out of here before the Kul Tirans break our line in Plunder Harbor. I did some research while you were gone. I believe I uncovered the location where the ritual must take place. When you are ready to go, we can make our way over.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Life Held HostageLevel 50

    As Lilian has pointed out, it seems we have a final visitor. Shall we go pay him a visit?
