What to do

StorylineDesolace, step 22 of 63
Rewards21g, 5,150 XP

Description

Time and again, the naga have proven to be enemies to the balance of nature. I have no qualms with the spilling of their blood. Your best efforts though, would barely put a dent in their forces here. Where one falls, two seem to rise in their place. I have a plan, {class}. Your objective is not merely to take the lives of the enemy, but to gather components necessary for the next stage of our investigation....

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.

  • The Emerging ThreatDesolace · Level 10-30

    I am all that remains of my company, sent to monitor the many changes on this coast of Desolace. I have reported of the dramatic increase of naga here, but to no effect. My peers are focused on other crises, so I must ask you, a stranger, to assist me in my research.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Going DeepDesolace · Level 10-30

    I have fashioned a charm that will allow you to infiltrate the naga, giving you the appearance of one of their own. With this disguise, you will be able to speak and understand their language. They will be unable to discern your true identity. But beware!
