RewardsSalt-Cured Monnions, Junglewalker Boots, Salt-Cured Mantle, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The salt you brought was sufficient to activate the bracers' innate enchantments. I have taken these enchantments and combined them into a summoning token... a gift, if you will. Return to the Isle of Naias, and place the gift on Naias' altar. Call me again once you have Naias' heart.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • You Can Take the Murloc Out of the Ocean...Northern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    I need something to cut into the raw, elemental power of these bracers... something strong and abrasive, but still of the sea. The Murkgill murlocs have moved inland from the sea, but they still carry vials of sea salt on them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Defense of Grom'gol: Raptor RiskNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Throm'ka, <class>! Your arrival at Grom'gol is timely, indeed. Our mission to provide a safe chain of supply to Stonard is being hampered by some of the local inhabitants. I am putting you in charge of eliminating the raptor population outside of Grom'gol, just to the north.
