The Red Crystal

Travel east of Auberdine and look for a large, red crystal along Darkshore's eastern mountain range. Report back what you find to Sentinel Glynda Nal'Shea in Auberdine.
  •  
Locate the large, red crystal on Darkshore's eastern mountain range

Description

Hostile moonkin roam in ever increasing numbers to our east. They once were thought to be gentle, almost mystical creatures. While some continue to hold reverence for them, the safety of Auberdine forces me to keep a more realistic view.

I've received reports that moonkin are being drawn to a large red crystal along Darkshore's eastern mountain range. No one has any idea what that crystal is, or even if it really exists. I want you to locate it over there and report back to me what you find.

Reward

Also, you get: 6

Progress

What do you have to report on that red crystal? Does it even really exist?

Completion

So the crystal exists, <name>? Fascinating... anyway, your task has been well executed; good work!

What exactly is this crystal? This is but a single question in a sea of questions. Another question that comes to mind is why the moonkin would be drawn to this object? Is the crystal benign in nature, or does it hold a more sinister purpose?

I have many more questions, but we're going to need to examine that crystal closely to get some answers.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 61.25 experience (2 94 at max. level)
  • 75 Reputation with Darnassus

The red crystal is due east of Auberdine, along the eastern mountain border at 47,48. You may see a large number of Raging Moonkin near it.

The raging moonkin seemed to be chained together (or have a large aggro range). You might get one or two extras, when you try and pull one individually. Otherwise, you can just run by it to complete.

Interestingly, the red crystal in this quest seems to be the same type of crystal in Stillpine Hold, which the game says is a broken off piece of The Exodar.

Pretty easy quest. Located 47, 48. Becareful when fighting the raging Moonkin though. Their attack power shoots up when they become enraged. As for the four that you see by the crystal; they wander away from it so all I did was Shadowmeld until they had left then ran off. Other races may have a bit more trouble though.

Confirm madroxe's location of 47,48. It's up the steep hill. Zaketor's data is incorrect, though...I did this as a lv 15 nelf rogue and nobody aggroed when I discovered it.

And if it's not killing you to take these guys out, I highly recommend going after some of the raging moonkin. Their green drop is pretty good.

You're going to want to approach it from the South side, there's less chance of getting mobbed that way.
