Players have uncovered the first big secret of World of Warcraft: Forever, a hidden quest chain that leads to potentially powerful weapons. The WoW Secret Finding Discord pieced the chain together across Zephras Isle, Duskwood and Kalimdor, and it was publicized on Tuesday, November 10, at 7 AM MST. Check out the official post down below:
The chain is still unsolved. Members of the Secret Finding Discord, including Miko, Aerinis and Padwarle, have mapped 6 parts so far, and the final reward is unknown. Players will likely need to be level 40 or higher to get through the later steps, which include dungeon visits and objectives in at least 6 zones.
Part 1: The Ancient Heirloom On Zephras Isle
The chain starts in Zephras Isle, the new starting zone for the Skyborne race. Skyborne characters get the quest Coming of Age from Ailee Farheart in Thendal Village and turn it in to Rorian the Dayseeker, which rewards a ring called the Ancient Heirloom. Players of other races can find the ring on the top floor of a nearby building.
Next, players need the Night Watchman's Torch from Duskwood, which comes from the quest An Unfortunate End at the body of a slain Night Watch guard. Using the torch at the Ruins of Ban'aethal on Zephras Isle reveals the Ancient Hilt.
The hilt goes to Ealaane Nimbuswalker, and players then have to track down the Ancient Skyborne Blade, which spawns in a random location. Completing this part rewards Eluvi'ana, an uncommon one-handed sword.
Part 2: The Befouled Water Globe
- Alliance: collect 20 Mathystra Amulet Fragments, kill Baron Marinous in Darkshore, then speak with Onu at the Grove of the Ancients
- Horde: defeat Baron Aquanis in Blackfathom Deeps, then bring the globe to Je'neu at Zoram'gar
This step sits around level 22.
Parts 3 And 4: Narassin And Mordent Evenshade
With the Ancient Heirloom equipped, players travel to Zoram Strand and speak to a Highborne Spirit. That leads to Narassin, who must be defeated atop the Tower of Althalaxx to obtain the Azsharan Key and Narassin's Tome.
Mordent Evenshade in Shen'dralar then asks for 3 items:
- Star of Elune: found in a vault in southern Feralas built for 5 players, with 4 Ancient Switches
- Abyssal Mote: inside an underwater Abyssal Chest in Azshara, which requires the Kirith and Azsharite quest chain
- Tears of Anguish: drops at Lake Kel'theril in Winterspring
Parts 5 And 6: Hyjal And Dire Maul
The Shrine of Coalescence in Mount Hyjal turns the globe into the Cleansed Water Globe. From there, Prince Tortheldrin in Dire Maul speaks of 2 blades, Eluvi'ana and Eluvi'tor, and says that knowledge is "reserved for those Honored in his Court."
That is where the trail goes cold for now. Secret hunters believe reaching Honored reputation with the Shen'dralar is the next requirement, but that has not been confirmed.
Blizzard Said The Secrets Would Be Hard To Find
The discovery lines up with what the development team said before launch, when WoW: Forever devs said some secrets are so well buried they will take players a long time to find. The chain also runs through Mount Hyjal, one of the new zones added for the version, after World of Warcraft: Forever showed off Riverglades and Mount Hyjal, its new zones for levels 30 to 60.
WoW: Forever adds more than 1,000 new quests, the Skyborne race and new zones including Zephras Isle, Shen'dralas, the Riverglades and Mount Hyjal. Blizzard's launch overview video covers the new content:
What do you think the final reward at the end of the Eluvi'ana and Eluvi'tor chain will be?
