Encrypted Twilight Text (10)

Description

Now that I have the Twilight Lexicon in my possession, there is a small favor I'd like to ask of you.

My former organization has a secret encoded bulletin they circulate on a monthly basis.

If they make any progress searching for me or if they call off the search, word will be published on the True Believer.

Although this information is obviously valuable to me, the publication contains other useful information that I can share. Bring me any encoded texts you find on Twilight's Hammer members.

Reward

Also, you get: 90

Progress

Did you find any encrypted texts? I'm quite curious to read this month's True Believer.

Completion

Excellent! I will get to decoding these as soon as possible. If I find anything of interest I'll find some way to get the information to you.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 640 experience (38 40 at max. level)

You do get more of a reward from this than what is listed above.

Within 24 hours of turning in the texts, you'll get a letter from Ortell in the mail. Along with a letter, you'll get a package of documents that were supposedly translated from those texts.

Those will vary from decrypted texts that contain news about the Twilight Cultists, buff scrolls, and certain rare plans.

In fact, this is the only way to acquire ""Darkrune"" armor plans for blacksmiths, ""Runed Stygian"" armor patterns for tailors, and scrolls to create the ""Crest of Beckonings"" aside from camping out the AH for them.

This is also a repeatable quest, meaning you can keep turning in stacks of 10 encrypted twilight texts to Ortell instead of to the NPC in Cenarion Hold. However, while you will get items for the turn ins, you will not get any rep.

If you turn it in twice or more, do you get only 1 mailed item, or is it scaled by the number you actually turned them in?

This was not that bad. Me (56 hunter) and a 58 warlock did this and in 40 min we got 17 of them. But then again we killed every single one that we saw. But a tip stay on the outside and pull everything thing out its a lot safer. 40, 45 is the best place because there was no beasts a lil further out.

This quest counts for the Kalimdor Loremaster achievement :)

If you are grinding Cenarion Circle rep, I do not recommend completing this quest. It does not give you any rep and it requires you to turn in 10 Twilight Texts, which if you turned them in to Bor Wildmane at Cenarion Hold, you would receive CC rep for them.

Do like jinnlord and alevizon said...Twilight Prophet has a 100% drop rate of Twilight texts, and it gives you between 7 and 12.

I found one at the southest Twilight camp. One kill gave me 7 Twilight texts.

Esteemed %name,

I went through the stack of texts you brought me and I decoded the attached articles for you. I carefully selected only those items which I thought would be of use. It was quite problematic to get to a mailbox without being seen, but months of hiding in the desert have turned me into quite a sneak!

I hope you enjoy these.

As of patch 5.3 I have twice found the Twilight Prophet at 30.1, 71.0. He drops a varying number of these items but on my last attempt he dropped 8.
