RewardsSlow Death Dirk, Wand of the Ancestors, Thunderlord Scalpel, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

If the vision that I granted you is true, then you must travel down into the ravine and to the south end of Bloodmaul Ravine. There you will find the Draenethyst Mine. Journey to the back of the mine, and retrieve the Thunderspike. Ignore everything else! I have no interest in the crystals of the mine, nor the ogres therein. As soon as you have the spear return it to me here! And, {name}, be very careful with it... I would hate to think what would happen to you should you break it.

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.
