Description

Once those Reliquary honks got here, we panicked, and we all just started looting indiscriminately.

A lot of bad archaeology happened that day.

Luckily, Olga happened upon this small jade statue. We thought it to be a key of some sort, but can't figure out what it opens. Maybe you'll have some better luck with it.

Copied from Shadowbliss' post on the Horde version of this quest



As of today, with patch 4.1, I can confirm that this quest is _visually_ bugged.

(Yes, I have tried with disabling addons etc, no dice).

The issue, shortly put, is that once you move a piece, it will - regardless of its original facing - now _visually_ be facing the wall. The quest is still doable, assuming you do it in the simplest way.

1 2 3
4 X 5
6 7 8

All of these are facing outwards from the beginning, and with one free space to move, it's simply a case of getting the pairs sorted.

IE, activate piece number1, then 8, then 1. These two figures have now swapped sides, and are correctly faced.
Then piece 2, piece 7, piece 2. And so on.

This helped me do it without having the benefit of the visual heading of them.

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.

  • All's Fair in Love, War, and ArchaeologyBadlands · Level 15-30

    First things first, though. I'm not just going to sit here and tell you everything we've discovered down in those ruins. We've got problems to take care of! Most pressing is those upstart Reliquary hooligans, just on the other side of the tomb. They're makin' off with all of our loot!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sentinel's PawnBadlands · Level 15-30

    We very nearly had this statue stolen from us by one of Bloodwatcher's Reliquary stooges. We managed to catch him in the act, and we've retrieved the statue, but it hasn't really paid off. It appears to be a key of some sort, but I can't find the lock anywhere inside those ruins.
