Shutting Down Manaforge B'naar

Shutting Down Manaforge B'naar is a quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 5 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 32.0, 64.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We cannot shut down the manaforges by force as we'd risk causing an explosion that would shake Outland to the core.

According to your transcription, there is an emergency shutdown that permanently disables the technology - a safety mechanism common in naaru constructs.

To perform this procedure you will have to obtain a crystal that will allow you to communicate with the console. This access crystal is in the possession of an overseer called Theredis according to our information.

Overseer Theredis is at 23,70 (South room inside the building).
Walk back inside and use the item he dropped on the machine.
Before doing so you should kill all the blood elves inside.
When you do it, blood elves will try to repiar it, kill them to stop them.

After you get the key and use the Console, don't leave yet. You have to stick around for it to complete, while killing Sunfury Technicians (non-elite, only about 2000 HP, one at a time). Just don't let them repair it or you won't get quest credit.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • B'naar Console TranscriptionNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    You try to transcribe the shapes as you see them flash across your eyes. The results are less than exact, but should serve as adequate evidence to prove or disprove the Aldor's suspicions.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Attack on Manaforge CoruuNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Your success at Manaforge B'naar was quite noteworthy. I'm sure that Anchorite Karja will ask you for a repeat performance at Manaforge Coruu next. We've learned of a particularly important regiment of Sunfury arcanists and researchers being deployed there and I would like you to target them.
