If you're having trouble with this quest - as in the NPC's are not there in the Underbelly; they're phased. Once you've accepted the quest for your second artifact weapon, you must complete that first before the NPC's will appear. Be careful, the pvp'ers will take full advantage of the zone when they're able to.

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.

  • Ancient Vrykul MasteredLevel 10-45

    Here are those tablets back, along with their deciphered writing. You can take this codex back to Pallin, too. I'll start getting my things ready for when he calls me back to Dalaran. <Nicholo sighs.> Learn from my example, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Once a Scribe Like YouLevel 10-45

    These sewers are something of a... "settling place" for many who can't cope with the stresses of regular Dalaran life. Take, for example, the target of this particular contract. His name is Inkrot. He was once a scribe like you, but the stresses of dealing with the Professor drove him mad.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Inscription has 42 steps, from Sign This to Demon Ink.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (18), Azsuna (15), Stormheim (4), Ironforge (2).

Other storylines on the Dalaran map

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
