What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Xavius, the Nightmare Lord in Val'Sharah, derives some of his power from his spellsash. It is enchanted and tied to the world beneath his feet and cannot be removed from his body. However, with the ancient wisp's help, the spellsash can be removed if you can but defeat Xavius in combat. Trivial for one of your skill, I'm sure. Take the wisp to the Emerald Nightmare, take the spellsash, and use your skills to repair any damage you've caused in the battle.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 46687 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “The Wisp and the Nightmare” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(46687))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(46687))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
