Description
Elementalist Janai was looking for you earlier, Farseer. It appears that her study of the Maelstrom Pillar has been most enlightening. If you have a moment, you should go and meet with her to discuss her progress.
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.
