Weird earth DEBUNKING STRANGE IDEAS ABOUT OUR PLANET
BADLANDS GUARDIAN DEBUNK HOW TO
(I avoided this by running up the rock wall just to the E of the southern entrance to the guardians' area the whelps don't hang out here, but you can run far enough along the wall to lose the guardian.)Īfter you complete the quest, you will be taught how to make the Elixer of Restoration.12 Is the Earth Only Six Thousand Years Old?ġ8 Mysterious Earth: Why People Want to Believe Weird Things Just be careful that you don't run into a couple of dragon whelps back in the ravine. A guardian won't follow you very far beyond that big open area. However, the quest doesn't require you to kill them, so simplest thing is to cut and run as soon as you finish draining them. The dragons are all elites, so they're tough to solo if you're near their level (44-45 mostly). If you drain at range, the dragon will probably only get 2-3 hits on you before you can respond. The draining procedure is like a channeled spell, so you can't do anything else until the draining stops. (You have to do this with a live dragon.) You can drain from range (`20-25 feet), which is a good thing because the dragon will attack as soon as you start. (They bind on pick-up.) To drain the blood, simply target one of the dragons and use one of the vessels on it. Open up the box and take out the Thaumaturgy Vessels. Keep heading east as the path winds south and then north till you hit large open area populated by several Scorched Guardian Dragons. Once you get the quest, go to the Badlands and head towards Lethlor Ravine in the East end of the zone where the dragon whelps hang out. So my guess is that you either have to be at or above 225 or have gotten Artisan training. Now maybe it was a bug, but I came by this questgiver 3-4 times from my mid-late 40s and at alchemy skill levels ranging from 170-210, but the first time the quest was available was after I'd achieved Artisan status and skilled up to 230. Second, this appears to be a quest for Artisan Alchemists only. Though this is an elite quest, it can easily be soloed.įirst, you have to have done the Badlands Reagent I and the Uldaman Reagent quests. Aside from that difference, the quest is the same for both sides. Comment by AllakhazamThe objectives here list Ghak Healtouch, who is the Alliance questgiver for this quest.
