Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sunken TreasureArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    The treasure has been on the sea floor so long that the gems have calcified into thick stone. But the power harnessed in these goggles will allow you to locate them easily. A little gnomish ingenuity goes a long way!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death From BelowArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    This is bad. It seems the Daggerspines are amassing for an attack. Naga are known for their ruthlessness in battle. They will keep attacking until I am dead. I don't value my own life above that of my crew members, but you must help to defend me.
