Im a druid and i couldn't place the totem. I was in cat form. When i shapeshifted back to my worgen form i could place the totem and finish the quest.

Just a tip, if it dosen't work while shapeshifted try with your normal form.

Look for a large crystal suspended above a temple/altar on the high point across the Blazing Strand. This is visible from the Questgiver position, or a bit south of it. Move SW from Questgiver, cross the water where the cliff on the other side is low, then move S to your left, uphill, near cliff edge, past the burning trees and the temple, and out to the very tip and highest point of the cliff (39.7, 62.7). Drop totem. Defend. Note that the quest may be satisfied while some attacking flame elementals are still alive.

Description

Their fiery spirits are contained in the totem now. Take it to the top of the overlook in the Blazing Strand and set it on the ground. The totem's soothing energies will slowly wash over the elementals until their fury simmers down to calm. You must protect the totem, for fire does not react favorably to the ritual of soothing.

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.

  • Calming the EarthDarkshore · Level 5-30

    I would be neglecting my responsibility if I abandoned my post just now, with so many elementals out of control in the ruins. Let us deal with them first, before we see how we can aid Malfurion. What do you say, small one?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Elune's FireDarkshore · Level 5-30

    We need special flame for ritual. We need Elune's fire. Horoo's spirit wanders east of here. Horoo carries torch of Elune. Bring here so spirits rest. Aroom thanks you.
