You have 15 minutes until Chromie die, so investigate shrines across Draginblight. If cant realise what to do:

  • Azure dragonblight - slay elementals and loot [item=151141]. When got 50, combine them to [item=150941].
    You'll get Voidcallers' Scroll quest, fly to floating disc, turn it in and defeat [npc=122553]. Loot [item=150943] to open portal to Hyjal.

  • Ruby dragonblight - slay three elites in the shrine, loot three [item=150939] and combine to [item=150940].
    You'll get Soul Crystal quest, fly to the cave in a tree, turn it in and defeat [npc=122874]. Loot [item=150946] to open portal to The Culling of Stratholme.

  • Emerald dragonblight - slay mobs to collect 10 [item=151167] and 8 [item=151168] and combine to [item=151166]. Use it and slay two mobs that channeling to a tree protector. There are three protectors in the shrine, so you have to to that three times. After that you'll get The Ancients' Wisdom. Turn it in near the water next to a bone hand, slay [npc=122875] and loot [item=150945] to open the portal to Andoral.

  • Obsidian dragonblight - get through the cave and defeat [npc=122528]. Loot [item=150938] and get out of the cave. Turin in Demonic Corestone when leaved and slay [npc=122871].
    Loot Fel-Touched Chronoshard to be able to open the portal to Well of Eternity.

The Deaths of Chromine quest chain consist of few parts, I hide some data under the spoiler:

Spoiler

The quest chain:

  1. The Day That Chromie Dies - just see that she dies.

  2. Rewind - the same one, but you'll have to speak with dragons before Chromie dies.

  3. The Many Advantages of Being a Time Dragon - you'll have 15 minutes to get some info about attackers. Chromie dies when the time ends.

  4. Preserve the True Future - there are four shrines across Dragonblight, you have 15 minutes to stop the attacks.
    During the quest you get info that there are also four other attacks you have to stop

  5. The Deaths of Chromie - now you have to stop all eight attacks in one attempt.

Great, now some info about instance scenarios:

  • The Well of Eternity just run it from the end to the entrance and slay [npc=123721]

  • Mount Hyjal - get close to Chromie's body and slay few waves of mobs.

  • Battle for Andoral - during Sky Ablaze With Cannonfire quest you have to defeat enormous gun. It has 80% damage reduction and the same chance to avoid damage.
    There are few elites (such as [npc=124101]) that drops items to disable those buffs. There are also war-captains which drop [item=151370]. Use that to destroy the cannon faster.

Hey guys. I was on this quest when the server restarts happened. I was at the very beginning; before the scenario started. I chose her talents, and the restart message appeared. Deciding to do it later, I left the instance. When I came back, however.. I couldn't go back in, and I got a new quest entirely; as if I completely skipped this quest. Did I miss anything?

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Well, unfortunately for... whomever is fixated on blasting me into oblivion, I am a fairly skilled master of the timeways! We have the advantage of trying that again, and again, and again, until I'm not dead anymore. We're going to need a little more than a few seconds to stop this attack. How does four hours sound?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • RewindLevel 45

    Now we know when the attack happens, and vaguely where it's coming from. Progress! All we need to do now is to find out more details and stop that attack! Let me know when you're ready to try again.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Preserve the True FutureLevel 45

    I know how this looks, <name>. I'm not asking for your help simply because I don't want to get killed. I need your help because this isn't how I'm SUPPOSED to die. I will die - I've seen it! - but it happens much later than this.

The storyline at a glance

The Deaths of Chromie has 5 steps, from The Day That Chromie Dies to The Deaths of Chromie.
