What to do
Description
Devourers are a problem. Rifts are a bigger problem. They will keep bringing devourers. We must close them. To do this, we need information. Take the crescendal. Use it to analyze the rifts. Bring the information back to us.
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.
- Pound of Flesh
Automa remove threats to us. But there are no more automa. We must help ourselves. We need magic. Devourers ate the orb magic. Now they are warped and twisted. But also full of magic. Bring us devourer flesh. We will extract the magic. We will need it to defeat the devourers.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mawsteel, Maw Problems
Zereth Mortis is sacred. Rifts should not form here. Something creates them. The metal you found has Maw magic. Devourers use it to make rifts. This is how they skirt our protections. Mawsteel shards are strewn across the area. Take these shards. Throw them off our cliffs.
