[edit] Quests

Three of the quests in this zone are given by NPCs located within the Gianthold city area:

[edit] The Crucible

• Awarded by Jorgundal ar'Grund
• Map to Entrance
• This quest may give Ancient Elven Relics in the final chest

[edit] Madstone Crater

• Awarded by Blaze ar'Rhind
• Map to Entrance
• This quest may give Ancient Giant Relics in the final chest

[edit] The Prison of the Planes

• Awarded by Nimbus ar'Yorg
• Map to Entrance
• This quest may give Ancient Dragon Relics in the final chest

These three quests are pre-requisites for this zone's raid quests. Each of those three quests must be completed before you can attempt to run the Pre-Raid for this zone.

After running all three quests, you must collect 20 of each type of relic:

• Ancient Giant Relic
• Ancient Elven Relic
• Ancient Dragon Relic

Once you have the 60 required relics, you can talk Crag in the Gianthold city zone. He will then give you access to the zone pre-raid quest Gianthold Tor, but you must first also talk to Cydonie of Argonessen before running the pre-raid. In order to run the zone raid, you must not only complete the pre-raid, but also complete the optional portions of the raid - killing the dragon and giant guardians accessible after quest completion. Doing this and talking to Cydonie of Argonessen again grants you access to the zone raid - The Reaver's Fate.

In addition to the pre-req, pre-raid, and raid quests, there are a number of quests located within the Wilderness Adventure Area. These quests are granted when you approach their entrance, and the end reward for the quest is given by various NPCs located within the Gianthold city zone.
