Description

Oh my. I never thought I would see the day. A newly born slateback!

I have been running standard non-invasive medical tests. However, I also need a test of its coordination. I have been noticing it chasing this ball around. Perhaps you could throw it and observe the results?

For anyone else curious, I bounced mine up to 51 stacks of the buff, for SCIENCE! Seems safe to assume there isn't an achievement, as one didn't trigger at the usual 25 or 50 stacks. If some other whacko tests 100 please let me know what happens!

The ball is in your inventory and you'll have a small slateback following you. Go outside, click the ball in your inventory. The ball will be thrown to the slateback, and once it reaches him, he will throw it to another destination (marked with a new circle with an arrow) that you need to run to. Rinse and repeat this. Make sure you stay in your "arrow circle" as the ball is thrown.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Scent of LoveThe Oasis · Level 80

    I was out and about checking on these slatebacks of yours, and your broker friends are wrong! The slatebacks are giving off the smell of love, but it's just not strong enough to overpower all this dry air on K'aresh. Not yet anyway! I whipped up a batch of pheromones that should fix them right up!
