====== Note If your getting ;
"You need to attune yourself further with the Naz'jar Battlemaiden to participate in this vision."
then it is extremely likely that you are at a 'spark', but the wrong one.

This is a quick step thru of the quests, as i did them, which may not be the best way, but I hoped to have enough info, in each step to get you through, even if starting in the middle of the steps somewhere.

======NOTE for the next 9 steps, if you are interupted, leave area, dismount from vehicle naga, return to the location in step 1 and use the "Blade" Quest Item, then continue at what ever step you are currently on. ======

1. Goto approx 40.5 , 75.5 - youll see the spark on the sea floor in a circular ruins. This is on the East side of the temple mid way down the length of the large Temple/Building Complex, on the SOUTH end of the field of "short" ruins ON THE SEA FLOOR :-)
2. Click the blade in your bags, you get a quest line from that point, from 'Fathom-Stalker Azjentus' - Kill the 10 Kvaldir required
3. Then continue on to quest 'The Revered Lady' (Straight North)
4. Complete with Lady Naz'jar (@ approx 39.4 , 59.0) and aquire new quest 'To the Fathom-Lord's Call'
-- Note: at this point you get a message " Further attuning yourself with the Battlemaiden, you have gained a new ability! "
Check you vehicle action bar
5. GO UP Vertically till you are at the top of the building complex, Kill the 16 Kvaldir required (other locations may be available)
6. Upon quest completion go to 'Fathom-Lord Zin'jatar' one level up from the sea floor (@ approx 36.4 , 78.6) turn in quest and then look around nearby for the new quest from 'Sira'kess Tide Priestess' called 'Built to Last'
7. Stay on that same level (one level up from sea floor) and click the blueish bird bath quest item-thingers x6 and return to 'Sira'kess Tide Priestess' at same location (@ approx 37.2 , 77.5) Turn in quest.
8. Go back to nearby 'Fathom-Lord Zin'jatar' for next quest 'Not Soon Forgotten', GO STRAIGHT WEST on the same level (on up from the sea floor) and find 'Varkul the Unrelenting' at the opposite side of the complex (@ approx 28.5 , 78.5)
-- Note: some may recognize this as the place that they where getting the Further Attunement error
9. Upon killing Varkul, you get a "soft turn in" of quest in your log, then the attunement quest auto completes and ports you back to the location where you started all this (@ approx 40.5 , 75.5) on the sea floor. Turn in quest with Wavespeaker Valoren.
-- Note: Remember the location of 'Varkul the Unrelenting' (@ approx 28.5 , 78.5) as you return there in step 11

Description

Look, I know this is asking a lot during a time like this, but I need you to tear yourself away from this defeat for a moment. I will tend to these soldiers - you need to find the location of that battle with the Kvaldir General to the west that you told me about. You should be able to glimpse more of the Battlemaiden's experiences from there. I have a strong feeling that the key to defeating these naga will lie with that Battlemaiden. Please hurry - I will do everything I can to buy you time.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gauging SuccessShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Vicious louts... they did a lot of damage with those spears. <The captain winces slightly as he clutches a wound on his side.> We'll hold here as long as we can for all the men to make it. I need someone to scout their numbers to see how much damage we did.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • By Her Lady's WordShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Lady Sira'kess has begun preparations for the ritual of summoning, but the Crucible of Nazsharin has been stolen from us. The Kvaldir have surely taken it with them as they retreated to shallower waters.
