[item=129169] drops from [npc=93071] in the Haustvald.
Most of them are inside the rooms.
Can take some time to get it. Drop rate is really low.

Description

From what little I have been able to decipher, I know that the tablets are created using a special carving tool. If we had one of those tools, along with a complete codex, we could easily create our own tablet. That would also serve to prove that my deciphering of their language has been successful. Retrieve one of those tools for me, {name}.

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.

  • Runes Within the RuinsLevel 10-45

    Unfortunately, Pallin's codex isn't complete. There are many symbols here that simply cannot be deciphered with what we've learned. Looks like we'll need to go and collect more tablets down in the area that the vrykul call Haustvald.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Not So Complex?Level 10-45

    Alright, I believe I've finished adding the missing entries into the codex. And we have the machete... err, knife. All that's left is to make our own tablet and verify my other suspicion about these tablets: I believe that they're not just simple texts, but a sort of magical device.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Inscription has 42 steps, from Sign This to Demon Ink.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (18), Azsuna (15), Stormheim (4), Ironforge (2).
