What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Zaralek Cavern, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
It's not common these days, but we do have a few of our histories in writing--well, carvings really. We can trace the etchings with our fingers! We used to use clay tablets for this, but they were brittle, and prone to breaking. Not good if you want to preserve history! I hear the djaradin carve their important texts into volcanic glass. If they can manage that without shattering the tablets, we could probably learn a thing or two from their techniques! Take some samples back to Loamm for study.
Plan the run before you travel
Zaralek Cavern belongs to the The War Within archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
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.
