Description

In my experience, dragon scale has been the strongest material I've ever had the privilege of working with. It's hard, durable and very little can go a long way. I wish to work with it again, {name}. Being in this form, I'm bound to this area, unable to experience the world any longer. I've heard rumor of the blue dragonflight occupying parts of Azsuna. Perhaps you can speak with them and see if they can shed a scale or two.

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.

  • A Debt PaidLevel 10-45

    Now, I've never heard of a ghost sending a letter before, but I'll be damned if'n I didn't just receive one now. Celea has sent fer ye, lad. I'd best be on me way if I were ye. Might be bad luck to keep a spirit waiting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eye of Azshara: Scales of the SeaLevel 10-45

    When we first met, I spoke of the naga, and the armor they're able to craft. No grander armor is worn, however, than by their top warlords. One in particular resides within the Eye of Azshara itself. His name is Warlord Parjesh, and the hauberk he wears is one of legend.
