Theocritus' Retrieval

Bring the Faded Shadowhide Pendant to Theocritus the Mage.
Faded Shadowhide Pendant
Provided Item:
Faded Shadowhide Pendant

Description

<You hear a disembodied voice...>

Do not be alarmed. I am Theocritus, High Mage of Tower Azora in Elwynn Forest. The pendant you are holding is a method of communication between the Shadowhide Gnolls and their master, Morganth.

Through months of research, I believe I too can communicate through these pendants. If you can hear this message, then my spell was a success.

Bring me this pendant and I will reward you for the service.

Reward

Also, you get: 12

Progress

I spoke to you through a pendant, you say? Hmm...give it to me, so that I might study it.

Completion

You have my gratitude, <name>. I sent that message to the Shadowhide Pendants weeks ago and had believed it a failure. But it seems the spell did reach at least some pendants, after a significant delay.

In time I hope to learn how to send an attack through the pendants, to immobilize any Shadowhide Gnolls who wear them.

But before that is possible, I'm afraid that much more research is required.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 140 experience (8 40 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Stormwind

This guy is at the top of the Tower of Azora in Elwyn Forest. The tower is on the road from Goldshire to Lakeshire.

Can anyone confirm whether or not one can still obtain this quest after having already completed the quest-line starting with https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=94 A Watchful Eye?

As of 3.2 you can still get the quest item to drop in order to start this quest, even if you've completed A Watchful Eye and Morganth.

Finally got the quest-starting item after about 30 minutes of grinding. Dropped off a Shadowhide Assassin.

I had not completed A Watchful Eye when the item dropped.
