Waxing Crescent

Waxing Crescent is a quest for level 45 in Suramar. It is step 5 of 6 in the Waxing Crescent storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Suramar at 48.9, 67.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

His captor is familiar to me. He is one of Aluriel's lieutenants and a skilled spell-fencer at that. You will need Silgryn's help to retrieve the key to Vanthir's prison.

Our friend's life hangs in the balance. Even if we manage to wrestle him from the executioner's grasp, he may well Wither before we can act.

I need you to take an Arcan'dor fruit to him. They are precious, and few, but for Vanthir this is the only chance he has.

Go quickly, and good luck.

To free Vanthir you have to find [npc=115607] first and loot [item=142281] from his body. [npc=115607] can be found at 47.0 65.8 point in Suramar city, on a "bridge". Kill him, take the orb and tracel to 48.9 67.1 point (dont jump down from the bridge), there you'll se an arch, Vanthir is under that arch in a cage. Free him and wait until he finished his speach, then you'll be able to turn in the quest.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On Public DisplaySuramar · Level 45

    Now that I have identified Vanthir's essence from the multitude of Suramar's citizens, it may be that I can find his exact location. I believe you'll recall a similar ritual with our friend Theryn. Do not worry- there will be less screaming this time. Hopefully. Come.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sign of the Dusk LilySuramar · Level 45

    Simply... astounding. I have not felt this clear of mind in so long. I am still weak... I need to rest. But first... <Vanthir gestures to the top of his cage with a trembling hand.> Show them that the Dusk Lily triumphs this day.
