Sapphire of Aku'Mai (20)

Description

Within the beginning tunnels of Blackfathom Deeps, large sapphire clusters can be found along the cave walls. Recently it was noted that the naga were harvesting the crystals. Until it can be discerned why, I sense we should stop the naga from succeeding. The crystals have great elemental power and if used inappropriately, could make for a powerful arcane component.

Will you help me, <name>? Blackfathom Deeps can be found along Zoram Strand to the north of our outpost.

Reward

Also, you get: 14

Progress

How goes your search for the crystals, <name>? Have you witnessed the naga harvesting them? I pray to my ancestors we find the reason they are collecting such things.

Completion

Well done, <name>. These are the crystals I spoke of. Intriguings...

I can feel the power within them. The spirits of water cling to them. Whatever the naga were going to use these for... well, let us be glad they are no longer in their hands.

Gains

These are pulled from the blue crystals that appear in the tunnels leading up to the instance, not inside the instance itself. They respawn quicker than the monsters do, so if you (or a group headed for the instance) can clear a small area, you can harvest multiple crystals.

If you're a stealther, you can sneak past the first elites, then go to the pool of water to the left. At 43.8, 34.8, there's an unguarded crystal node.

These nodes also yield multiple crystals each time. Harvesting 6 nodes got me 22 crystals.

There's no Elites anymore so pretty easy to solo at level 20 I should think.

These minerals can be tracked on the map, if you have mining.

This quest is no longer available in this form in Cataclysm. You should see Dagrun Ragehammer in Zoram'gar Outpost for the https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=26890 new version.

When I was in the eerie underground tunnels, battling off monsters while shell creatures scrambled over the ground, it suddenly hit me that this place reminded me of The Dark Crystal. It involves collecting crystals too, which for me really makes this quest a subtle tip-of-the-hat to the Jim Henson film. It's the sound and atmosphere that strike me the most.
