On quest completion, Glorin says this:

Glorin Steelbrow says: The Eye of Paleth was retrieved and cleansed a long time ago, mage. We thought the curse lifted.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Not a year ago, poor old Fitzsimmons passed on, his body ruined by drink.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Ever since, now and then, people claim he's spoken to them and told them to get the eye...
Glorin Steelbrow says: Cursed to roam the earth forever...not even poor Fitzsimmons could escape.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Don't ask me what you actually brought me, mage. You're better off forgetting this ever happened.

Description

Opening the chest reveals a blackened orb, pulsing with an eerie light. This must be the foul Eye of Paleth that damned these sailors' souls. Such corruption should be purged. Perhaps a priest in Menethil Harbor could help you.

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.

  • Lifting the CurseWetlands · Level 10-30

    To break the curse, there must be a reckoning. Captain Halyndor damned us all to covet a forbidden artifact; the Eye of Paleth. His spirit still covets it, standing guard over the strongbox of his old ship, the Intrepid. Vanquish the soul of the one who cursed us so, <class>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dinosaur CrisisWetlands · Level 10-30

    We've been getting more and more reports of raptor attacks in the area. I'm seeing to it that this place is safe enough for more settlement to start occuring, so I've put a bounty on the buggers. A lot have been cleared out already, but the Highland raptors to the north have been growing in number.
