Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Excavation: Gaze of NeltharionLevel 70

  A Niffen colleague of mine gave me the underground info about an underground tower. It's decrepit and smack-dab in the middle of Zaralek between Loamm, the Djaradin, and that ghastly lab of Neltharion's. Grab your favorite shovel and meet me there!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Hidden in the MiddenLevel 70

  <This dragon statue is similar to others found in the region but has been covered in paint. Googly eyes, stink lines, whiskers, and all manner of other rude drawings decorate the otherwise-imposing stone. The paint looks old and is flaking in places but is not as old as the statue itself.
