Surfacing Threats

Surfacing Threats is a quest for level 50. It is step 5 of 6 in The Forge of Origination storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Uldum at 54.9, 32.7. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 8,500 experience and money.

Description

The tol'vir take the protection of the titans' constructs here in Uldum as a sacred duty. However, our numbers have dwindled, and we face greater threats with each day.

Even with the strength of our new allies, we will only be able to hold these enemies back for so long. Should any of them surge in power, they may still be able to overwhelm us and endanger the forge. This is where your assistance is needed.

Speak to High Commander Kamses to assess our current situation.

Reputation: Uldum Accord +500

A loose coalition of allies headed by the Tol'vir, the Uldum Accord was founded to protect the Forge of Origination from enemy forces.

Reputation group: Battle for Azeroth.

Currency: Azerite x 1,500

The blood of Azeroth crystalizes into chunks of Azerite, an extremely potent and powerful material.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.

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 Uldum AccordLevel 50

    You seek assistance defending the Forge of Origination? It would seem that our goals align. The Halls of Origination are but a small portion of the forge's true scope. Any threat to Uldum would be a potential threat to the forge, and Uldum has found itself with many new enemies of late.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Forging OnwardLevel 50

    Thanks fer helpin' me back there at the forge. It's vexin' that N'Zoth was able to infiltrate it so quickly, but at least we arrived in time tae keep it from bein' completely wrecked! Now comes the task of gettin' her back tae a hundred percent.

The storyline at a glance

The Forge of Origination has 6 steps, from A Titanic Problem to Forging Onward.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Uldum (5), Chamber of Heart (1).
