Description

"Rending daggers of the great ones shall be bound with WOOD and SHADE." Hmm. I've learned a lot about the Kor'thik mantid in my time here. I know that they maintain shrines within their settlement, Kor'vess. One is a heartroot of the very tree that they inhabit. The other is a dark pillar, connecting them with their queen. These shrines are the wood and shade. If my predictions are right... the daggers should react in their 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.

  • Bound With WoodDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    <Vu eyes the recipe.> Hmm... "bound with wood". We don't typically brew with wood. Sap, yes... but not wood. We have, on rare occasions, infused our drinks with corewood from the treants to the west of here. Most of them have fallen to the mantid... but their remains should suffice for our recipe.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sunset KingsDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Olon had a clever idea. He thinks that we should visit the sprites to the west, and ask them if they have any of these ingredients. Some of the elements to this recipe are seeming... strange. The Rikkitun sprites have a village to the west of Kor'vess. I hope to see you there, <name>.
