Description

These shards can only do so much in their current state. They are broken and scattered... not unlike my kin. We must bring them together. Let us go deeper into the Emerald Dream. I know of a place where we can reforge the shards into a dragonscale. With it, you can empower the Heart of Azeroth with the essence of my dragonflight. We must go to the ancient heart of the Dream, where my mother once rested. Speak with me when you are ready to delve deeper.

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.

  • Don't Close Your EyesLevel 50

    The Void assaults us as we sleep! Those who it ensnares may never wake again. They can only be roused by powerful magic native to our dragonflight. The shards that have formed near our fallen kin may be exactly what is needed. If we succumb to slumber in the Void, we will be lost forever.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Before I WakeLevel 50

    It is as I feared. We cannot fuse the shards together until the Void has been driven from this place. Quickly, strike down these aberrations. I suspect the source of the corruption will not sit idle in response.

The storyline at a glance

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of has 9 steps, from In Darkness, I Dream to The Long Awake.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Emerald Dreamway (4), The Emerald Dream (3), Val'sharah (1), Chamber of Heart (1).
