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.

  • The Properties of LeystoneLevel 10-45

    I've never seen anything like this "leystone" ore. It's light, like mithril, but it carries much more of a magical energy... more even than saronite or elementium. Let's try making something with it. How about a nice pair of gauntlets?
