Infused Burning Gem (15)
Provided Item:
Burning Gem

Description

Death is most desirable for those despicable creatures that turn their back on their liege for such selfish reasons. But death is not enough when dealing with those that have given themselves over to the darkness.

Take this gem. When one of the Burning Blade's near death, activate its magic. The spell shall pull the corrupted spirit out of its victim, leaving an infused gem behind.

Bring me these infused gems so I may dispose of them properly.

Go now, and may you elude death.

Progress

I have tried to make the magics as simple as possible. Drawing the spirit of your victim out of its injured form should be child's play. Do not rely on the gem's power to slay your foe completely. You must only activate the gem when they are close to death, or it will be useless.

Completion

Ah, you've returned successful. That is good. Give me the gems and I shall put them someplace safe....

My tasks for you are complete, <class>. Speak to Takata when you are rested. He may have other tasks for you, or perhaps needs you to return to Orgrimmar to inform Keldran of our progress here in Desolace.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 265 experience (15 90 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Undercity

You want to go to Thunder Axe Fortress (55,28).

Target:
- All the humanoids there

Conclusion:
- Right before the target is dead, right click on your ""Burning Gem"" to capture a ""Infused Burning Gem"".
- Do this 15 times, and go turn in the quest.

You might want to do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 as well if you're farming round the fortress for gems.

Found on the net:
--------------------------
Go see Craven Drok in Orgimmar (Cleft of Shadow). He'll give a quest (the first ""Alliance Relations"") to go see someone else in Ogrimmar, who is in the Valley of Spirts on the road near the west gate. He'll give you another quest to go to Ghost Walker Post in Desolace to start 2 quests.
-------------------------

Hope this helps :)

If you are doing this as a shadow priest, you will love this quest.
All you need to do is chuck a vamp embrace and maybe a dot on them, then just spam the drain on them, free mind flay and uninterpretable. And the best thing. It procs vamp embrace since it is shadow damage.
So you have no down time since you use little to no mana. And you just need to top yourself off every now and then.

This is probably a bug though.

Finish of the Humanoids at Thunder Axe fortress with [Burning Gem]

As a rouge. Either garrote, deadly poison and rapture (with 3 or 4 combos) or Cheapshot, deadly poison and rapture on 5 combos. then press the crystal at 15-20%. That way u dont loose so much hp when draining.

The gem wont work if youre shape-shifted as a druid. Super easy at 36 though. Pounce, rake, rip, shift, gem, collect your shard and move on. Any other class with some dots, dont over do your dmg, just throw the dots on and hit the gem when they get low. As stated above can be done while on https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 as well as https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5741 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5741

as a paladin things can seem impossible at first, but you can do it alone, wait until they have under 20% life left and then cast consecration and have retribution aura activated and use the gem.
its tricky but you will get the hang of it

Somehow everyone seems to have missed the fact that the gem does 100 damage and you don't need to use a single DoT.

Kind of a hassle as feral druid kitty. No real problem, just a bit annoying to go out of cat/bear form every single kill.

This quest is a *$%^&amp;** to do if you're level 80. Even unarmed with all your gear off and naked, 1 hit usually kills. So you gotta use the 100 damage every 3 seconds item several times just to kill them. Takes forever.

This quest counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Shamans, I highly recommend that you take windfury off of your weapon before doing this quest. The instagib potential of a big windfury proc is far too unpredictable to reliably know when to start channeling the gem. Flametongue or Rockbiter will still hit them hard but smooth out the damage.
