The Archmage's Staff

The Archmage's Staff is a quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 60 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 31.4, 66.1. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Allow me to introduce myself, <class>.

I am Ravandwyr, apprentice to the Archmage Vargoth.

My master is... indisposed, shall we say. I am here on a matter of great importance.

The Arklon Ruins southeast of the city are a hotbed of Burning Legion activity. Their purpose in the ruins concerns neither me nor my master, but their leader, Ekkorash, possesses the archmage's staff.

This conjuring powder will allow you to draw the demon out of hiding. Sprinkle it on the brazier at the center of the ruins.

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.

  • Back to the Chief!Netherstorm · Level 25-30

    I'm certain that the rocket-chief is going to want to have a word or two with you! If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to get back to Area 52 and speak with him!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rebuilding the StaffNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    <Ravandwyr inspects the staff, noting that part of the headpiece seems to be missing.> Simply barbaric! Ekkorash must've taken the staff's crystalline headpiece for use in some other trinket, not realizing that it works in concert with the rest of the staff.
