Ask the storyteller a question, such as where to go next or for more information about the story.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Ask a Question.

What it does

Ask a Question is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 4 sec cooldown. It also casts Ask a Question (record #468124).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
