Testing the Metal

Testing the Metal is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 22 of 45 in the Legion Leatherworking storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azsuna at 47.5, 44.2.

Description

Alright, if we're going to get out of here, we're going to have to maneuver around the naga and the sea giants.

The naga probably won't pose much trouble for someone of your skill, but those sea giants are strong beyond belief.

Just get me out of this cave safely and I can find my own way home.

Hopefully this armor Celea made for me will protect me long enough to see this through.

In order to get this to complete, you need to head out the south entrance of the tunnel (toward Oceanus Cove). There is a pass guarded by two Cove Skrog. You need to get Taldranis to this pass, but you do not need to kill the Skrog to complete.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Daring RescueLevel 10-45

    My brother, Taldranis, was on a ship headed here to Azsuna. The ship was ambushed by the sea giants and my brother was taken captive. I believe he still lives out his days in those horrible caves, slaving away for the giants. Go and free him, please.

After this quest

  • Adventuring AnxietiesLevel 10-45

    <name>! I was recently talking with Mei, the mount trader, and she asked me if it was possible to make a barding that could prevent adventurers from being dismounted. I'd like you to go and discuss this idea with her further. Return to me when you're finished.
