Description

I need something to cut into the raw, elemental power of these bracers... something strong and abrasive, but still of the sea. The Murkgill murlocs have moved inland from the sea, but they still carry vials of sea salt on them. What they use it for, I can't be sure, but it will serve for our studies. You can find the Murkgill in the glade south of the Rebel Camp and east of Bal'lal ruins.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sacred to the BloodscalpNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Ahh... these must be names of their totemic creatures - the animals that they attribute to the spirits. Let's see... Mahamba as water, Tsul'Kalu as earth, Pogeyan as... air? Fire? I can't make this part out. I'd like some more information on these spirits of theirs.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Altar of NaiasNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    The salt you brought was sufficient to activate the bracers' innate enchantments. I have taken these enchantments and combined them into a summoning token... a gift, if you will. Return to the Isle of Naias, and place the gift on Naias' altar. Call me again once you have Naias' heart.
