For you completionists out there who, tedium be damned, want to grind this out:

Most grocery stores have a store brand bottle of vodka for around $10. It won't taste good, but it'll be well worth the money to dull the pain of this godforsaken quest. You can run it through a water filter a couple times to get rid of some of the strong aftertaste. Pick up some orange juice or a cirtusy beverage to mix it with if necessary, set the items next to your computer, and begin.

Hey Blizzard, if you're reading this, some possible ideas for improvement:


  • Put players in a separate phase with a more realistic amount of mobs.

  • Make the item something you loot from a mob, instead of dig for.

  • Give us those cool abilities you get during the world quest in this area.

  • Change nothing, but make the item drop from the first fragment loot.

Absolutely hilarious that it sends you to this area just full of demon mobs! That's after having to dig at 5 other areas that were also full of mobs (I remember when they used to pick sites that actually had ruins, etc. Forget that, now it's sites with tons of mobs and they make sure they put the nodes right under them).

I'm really hating these new arch quests.

I got this far and said forget it. That's 2 out of 3 arch quests I've done where I decided it wasn't worth it and just stopped.

This quest was probably created by someone who's just gone through a bad break-up or an ugly divorce or maybe that poor chap simply hasn't been touched throughout his/her entire sad existence and this quest is simply meant to suck out every ounce of joy from everyone else.

Description

Ye'd not normally know it, but the terraced entrance to the vrykul's Halls o' Valor is a fine place for findin' ancient artifacts. Problem is, the place is just a big mess with demons at the time. Well, ye've not got much choice. If the disc isn't elsewhere in Stormheim, it most likely lies at the Gates of Valor. Good luck, {name}.

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.

  • Process of EliminationLevel 45

    With so many places ta dig up fragments, it's become quite a pain figuring out where ta look for more of the titan disc. I have a plan though. I need ye ta eliminate potential areas where the disc could exist so we can narrow down where in Stormheim it might exist.
