Description

In order to understand the "singing crystal" at the heart of the island, we will need some special machinery. We have forged a device to scan its exposed facets, but the crystal's energies are far too complex to read. It has a highly unusual energy signature. The goblins and Arathi seem keen to contribute, so let us proceed with their help. Take my toolbox and retrieve the prototype and the components the Arathi and goblins have prepared.

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.

  • Friendly CompetitionSiren Isle · Level 80

    See, Ricket offered to dig it up, but the Arathi expedition lady didn't seem too keen on that. Gave 'er an earful. Could hear it from the airship. Yeesh.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Facet-nating SignalsSiren Isle · Level 80

    Intriguing! These radiant remnants from the Arathi seemed to have given our device the necessary focus it needed. All that remains is to attune it properly to its size. In order to attune to the signal, we'll need to set up some pylons around the site. There is testing to initiate, <name>.
