Quest Log

Seeking Guidance

Seeking Guidance is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 1 of 6 in The Ashbringer storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Western Plaguelands at 51.6, 79.0. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

Highlord Tirion may be gone, but the Ashbringer is still out there somewhere. Its power would devastate the Legion. We must find it!

I wish it were as simple as returning to where Tirion fell. It could be anywhere on that infernal landscape by now.

I believe an old friend can help us find the blade. I ask that you place your faith in me and journey to Uther's tomb in the Plaguelands. We will seek answers there.

The Chamber of the Guardian is the little circle on the ground in the middle of Dalaran, where you've talked to Khadgar several times.

Ignore the map to find the Dalaran portal to Dalaran Crater: once you port to the Chamber of the Guardian, just walk in the one direction you have available. You'll come to a portal room with ports to Wyrmrest Temple, Shatt, and the Dal crater.

Grab a parachute and get questing!

As of this point in Beta should you choose to take the portal to old Dalaran (optional) you WILL plummet to your death, so have a glider/parachute or divine shield at the ready lest your bones join the others below. Well trolled Blizz, well trolled.
