Description

We haven't kept the use of the Zephyrium Capacitorium under budget. But, it occurs to me that the serpents of the Scalewing Shelf to the east have a lightning breath and glands that we can make use of. I've repolarized the magneto collector to absorb lightning strikes and I want you to head up there, activate it on yourself, and get us some cheap fuel from those serpents.

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.

  • Picking Up Some Power ConvertersBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    Those dumb ogres at the Bladespire Outpost to the north have been raiding our power converters! And you're going to get them back for me, sort of. No doubt, with their big, clumsy hands, the ogres have damaged the converters.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Trapping the Light FantasticBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    The Razaani ethereals have been playing with some interesting technology at Razaan's Landing to the north. I'm sure they won't mind if you use this trap to take a few samples of their little pink floating light orbs? They're probably only for decoration anyway.
