Generic 'totem' quest. Drop totem, kill monster, rinse, repeat. The totems seem to have a range of ~20-25 yards, and last around 2 minutes. You can drop several at a time, as much as the cooldown on the totems(30 seconds) allows you to.

Monsters are found in the 'Steam Springs', a sub-area of 'The Geyser Fields'. They only have one ability, 'Steam Geiser', which deals damage and knocks you in the air(not high enough to recieve fall damage). Melee attacks hit for ~250-325 damage on a clothie. Steam blast hits for ~1k fire damage.

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 158 of 182
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

I kept trying to tell that silly goblin his machines are unreliable. But the power of the elements; that is deep and abiding. When my apprenticeship is over, I will wield their full power. What I know now should be sufficient to help out our friend Fezzix, though. Take this windsoul totem and plant it near any of the steam ragers to the west of the village. The totem will gather up the energies of slain elementals. Return the fully charged totem to me and I'll do the rest.

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.

  • Load'er Up!Borean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Have you seen the flying machines buzzing around? That's gnomish innovation at its finest. I've long waited to get my hands on some of their technology and a perfect opportunity has presented itself. One of their recon wings crashed in the Scalding Pools, in the southwest part of the Geyser Fields.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Patching UpBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Remember all that gnomish duct tape you brought me? Well, I've found a use for it. The body of this flying machine is so banged up in places, that I'm going to need to reinforce it if I ever hope to fly.
