Tomes of Ancient Madness

Tomes of Ancient Madness is a quest for level 50 in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

In times like these, it becomes necessary for all of the denizens of the Vale to pitch in and do their part. Unfortunately, I have never been much of a fighter, so my usefulness in times of war is limited.

However, I may be able to do some good. You see, we know very little about the invaders we face, and knowledge can be a very powerful weapon.

I think I have seen tomes carried by some of the k'thir. If you could bring some to me, I may be able to glean something useful from their writings.

These can be dropped by Drowed Zealot[/url ] and Tidal Corruptor.

What I ended up doing was heading over to Ruined Passage (57, 39) and go down the stairs.
This would be right in the middle of the two statues on the world map if you don't have a coords addon.


  • In the first staircase, you will find a patrol containing 2 Drowned Zealots

  • Right below the first staircase, you will find a group of 2 Drowned Zealots and 1 Tidal Corruptor

  • After the second staircase, in the circular room, you will find 1 Tidal Corruptor on each side and 1-2 walking around the room

I killed these two times and two random Corruptors outside and it was enough for me to complete the quest.

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.
