Quest Log

Translation

Translation is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Desolace. It is step 11 of 63 in the Desolace storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Desolace at 69.3, 29.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 2,050 experience.

Description

It is true that Furien dedicated his last days to a special research project. What that was, he would not share with me.

Fortunately, I was able to recover his journal, but it's written in a code that I cannot decipher.

Perhaps there is a clue to its translation in the region to the east where he spent his time.

Take the journal, <class>, and speak with Narimar when you are ready to investigate this mystery.

Have been clicking on the quest text at the Flight Master for a few minutes now with no success. I'm not going to bother putting in a ticket because: A) By the time I get a GM to reply, I will have leveled out of this quest. And B) I just don't want to hear "As a player myself, I understand your frustration.... " and "...known issue, our developers are working on 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.
