1. Click the altar.
2. Click the orange orbs.
3. When you can't figure out how the heck to assist, look for the glowing ring on the ground. Standing in it will activate a special ability.
4. Click the purple orbs.
5. Use yet another special ability to huck them into the lava.

OMG!
During Rushing Quality, if you emote /rude at the resting [npc=197721], he will immediately respond with [spell=401533] (which took a third of my HP instantly!) and you'll hear him cackling evilly, while in chat you will see:

You make a rude gesture at Fyrakk.
Fyrakk whispers: HAHAHA!

Considering the text of this spell, I tried all the other emotes I could think of, but none of them had any effect except for /rude!

Also, I was curious and just learned that even if you spam the absolute s**t out of /rude, his [spell=401533] can't kill you! It will keep taking you down to 1 HP, but you will never die. How considerate of him! :)

I truly adore these little details in this game; they really are one of the most charming things about WoW, and I love them!

Description

Look ahead! The djaradin have cleared away from the northeastern side of the caldera to augment their forces near the elders. There is an altar bordering the lava pool that appears safe for now. We can set up our spell components there. Let us hurry before the djaradin return.

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.

  • Battlefield TriageZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Our situation is less than ideal, we will have to improvise. I can conduct flame to earth to create magma. Shadowflame could behave similarly. The Primalists are summoning earth elementals nearby. If we extract their cores, I can use them to contain the shadowflame infecting Sabellian's burn.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Alliance of ConvenienceZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    The Primalists have a sizeable force of djaradin guarding them while they complete their work. Even in small numbers, djaradin prove to be formidable opponents when allowed to engage in battle on their own terms.

The storyline at a glance

The Ancient Bargain has 16 steps, from Where There's Smoke, There's Fire to In the Wake of the Ashes.
