A Future Task

Speak with High Explorer Magellas in Ironforge.

Description

Well <name>... we seem to be at a temporary dead end here. We know what we need - the Plates of Uldum - but we have no idea where they might be. We'll need to do quite a bit of research on this to come up with a solid plan of attack. I have a couple ideas where to start looking; I have high hopes that soon, we'll be asking you to head out and recover them.

The High Explorer needs to be informed on this, <name>; no doubt, he also wants to thank you personally for once again aiding the League.

Reward

Also, you get: 2 20

Completion

We're all in agreement then - the best plan of attack is putting this on hold until we can narrow down the areas where these plates might lie hidden. You've brought us this far <name>, and I hope you will be the one to head back in to the field to unlock Uldum for us all!

Allow me to give you this honorarium in the meantime; this should cover any expenses you've encountered in assisting us, and a little something extra. Be sure to check back with us soon... Uldum beckons!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 470 experience (28 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Ironforge

I really hope they do something more with this quest line and Uldum. All that stuff about the Creators was one of the few things that piqued my interest when I played through on my first character. It'd be fun to do more with that

The quest line to obtain these rewards can be confusing, so here is a quick rundown on how to get to the end....on the Horde side. The Alliance side is almost exactly the same except it involves chatting up NPCs in Ironforge instead of Thunderbluff.
  1. You can't start this quest line until you are level 40. The lineage is in 2 parts and the second part has a minimum level of 45. This is where a lot of folks get messed up......so start it at 40 and come back at 45 to finish it.
  2. The first thing that has to be done is for the last boss in Uldaman (/?npc=2748"">Archaedas) to be killed by any group whether you are in it or not. It takes a minimum of 3 folks to summon him so don't get a single high level friend to run you through. 3 have to click on an altar to summon him and then he can be killed.
  3. Once he dies a set of doors behind him open up into a closed room. Here is where the quest line will start. At this point, anyone in this group's instance level 40 or above can start the quest line. So if you have a level 40 alt you can log off your high level main, log on your alt, get invited to the group by its leader, and come in and start the quest line without having to have killed anything in the instance.
  4. In the room is a pile of discs which you will click on. These are the /https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=131474"">Discs of Norgannon and you will click on them and take the quest offered.
  5. Now you will be asked to talk to a Watcher. He will appear on the side of the room as a ghost and you MUST click on him and then click every page of comments he gives you until you get the Quest Completed notice. It is several pages of ""tell me more"" ""how does this all affect us"" sort of things. When done with him, go back and click on the Discs one more time and you will receive a miniature version of them in your pack. Make sure to have room and Do Not lose them.
  6. Click on the discs in your pack or you may have already gotten the instructions (can't remember) to take the discs to: /?npc=5387"">Ironforge Explorers League if Alliance or /?npc=3978"">Sage Truthseeker in Thunder Bluff. I am Horde so the specifics will be for Horde. Alliance is the same with just NPCs being in Ironforge instead.
  7. Sage will give you this quest: /?quest=2440"">The Platinum Discs, where you will talk to /?npc=3009"">Bena Winterhoof, the alchemy trainer in Thunderbluff, for your reward. The Alliance talk to /?npc=7292"">Dinita Stonemantle, who is in the Bank in Ironforge, with the same type of quest and the same rewards.
  8. Now here is The Key to Happiness for this quest line that messes up a lot of folks: The NPCs will tell you when they send you off to get your reward ""Come back and see me soon, there is much left to do!"" This means in reality ""Come back to me at Level 45 or above and start the rest of the quest line!"" So your minimum start was level 40 and now you must be 45 to come back to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=5387 this quest for Alliance or https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3978 this one for Horde to continue. Come back and you will get a quest called Portents of Uldum (/?quest=2963"">Horde) and /?quest=2963"">Alliance). These send you across Thunderbluff and Ironforge to one more NPC. They will tell you to head off to Uldum in Tanaris with this quest: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2946 Alliance and https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2966 Horde. This quest is called Seeing What Happens and requires you to have your Discs with you so make sure you have it in your pack. Fly to Gadgetzan and head to a /https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=142343"">pedestal in the far south of the map.
  9. This pedestal is to the left side of a gate surrounded by level 49 and 50 elite giants. It is at the base of a pillar/column. If you can stealth then just do your thing up to it along the side. If you can't stealth, then go around the left hand (as you face the gates) hills to a ruins called Southmoon Ruins. Directly in front of the ruins gate is a sand path up the hills at location [39, 78] Take this path up and you will come down the hill right at the pedestal/column. Wait for a pathing elite to walk on by, slowly come up to the pedestal until your cursor/gear will activate it. Activate it and another ghost /?npc=7918"">The Stone Watcher will appear and you will have to run through pages of conversation again clicking each page until you get Quest Complete. This is the quest for both sides: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2954 The Stone Watcher. Do it quickly as the pathing elite will come back by you. Now Do Not Forget to click the pedestal again!!! It will give you the quest back to Ironforge and Thunderbluff.
  10. /?quest=2977"">Alliance and /?quest=2967"">Horde are the pedestal quests it gives. You just go back to the NPC that sent you to Uldum, turn it in, take the quest to the next Ironforge/Thunderbluff NPC and get your rewards: /?quest=2968"">A Future Task for Horde and /?quest=2964"">A Future Task for Alliance. Now you know how to do it from front to back. Good luck and have fun. Rate the post up if it helped you.

The fact that they added blue rewards makes me believe that the continuation of this quest (possibly with Ulduar in WotLK) will be open to everyone, and not just those who completed this chain.

The rewards are nice, but kinda limited to a couple classes. Would of been nice if more classes to benefit from the reward. Easy quest chain though.

I'm quoting a Curse article here.<div class=""quote"">Uldum the ""surprise"" dungeon?
It would make sense with some of the major lore being Titan related in Northrend. Ulduar is obviously coming in 3.1, but 3.2 promises to have a surprise, and one that Blizzard stated will please everyone. This is absolutely a dungeon players have been clamouring for since... well, people learned of it via quests in the classic game. What do you think?<div class=""quote"">Quote from: Nethaera

Perhaps...http://wow.curse.com/articles/wow-en-news/350413.aspx Source

I was supprised at how easy this quest was for me being a rogue i just stealthed past the giants and got to the discs and never oulled aggro and it got me an awesome blue throwing weapon. i suggest doing this quest because even if you cant use the rewards you can sell them for 2 gold.
