Trapping the Light Fantastic

Trapping the Light Fantastic is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-30 in Blade's Edge Mountains. It is step 38 of 95 in the Blade's Edge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Blade's Edge Mountains at 60.5, 69.0. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The Razaani ethereals have been playing with some interesting technology at Razaan's Landing to the north.

I'm sure they won't mind if you use this trap to take a few samples of their little pink floating light orbs? They're probably only for decoration anyway.

The trap has a special property to it that when opened should attract one of the floating balls towards it. Of course, it'll probably also alert the Razaani to your presence.

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.

  • Ride the LightningBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    We haven't kept the use of the Zephyrium Capacitorium under budget. But, it occurs to me that the serpents of the Scalewing Shelf to the east have a lightning breath and glands that we can make use of.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Show Them Gnome Mercy!Blade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    <The blood drains out of Toshley's face.> These orbs are made up of both nether energy and souls, some of them gnome souls! How dare they! Were they the ones killing our people that traveled north?!
