Do take care not to use knockback against the pink images so they fall off their bridge. They don't finish dying from falling, go on Evade, and you have to set the staff for that one place of three all over again.

Seems to be two fights per spot.

Dunno if it's a harder fight for a fresh 70; I am moderately geared.

This quest is not in the Nexus dungeon itself, but instead in the world around the area "The Nexus" in coldarra. outside the main pilar/building, on the bridges leading into the dungeon area.

also make sure you stick around for all waves of enemies until the quest progress completes, its not just placing the staff

Description

Of course I can help track down the missing blue dragons. However, I have a mess on my hands that must be addressed first. Moments ago, several bursts of arcane energy swept through the Nexus, followed by attacks of strange arcane creations. I can create a method of tracking down the blue dragons if you can put down the locations of this wild arcana. Take this staff--do not break it--and use it on three locations within the Nexus. Oh, and prepare yourself for a fight.

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.

  • Azuregos's SupportLevel 36-80

    Many blue dragons have returned, and many others have informed me of their plans to make their ways to the Isles. There are a few key members of the flight, however, that I have not heard from. One of them may be able to help: Azuregos, stationed within the Nexus in Northrend.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Archival ArrivalLevel 36-80

    I have crafted a magical globe to help you find the remaining blue dragons. It should give you their rough locations. Now go. On top of everything else I was working on, I must now investigate these "memories" that attacked the Nexus. I shall get to the bottom of it.
