What to do
Toshley wants you to use the Repolarized Magneto Sphere to absorb 25 lightning strikes from the Scalewing Serpents. As well, collect 5 Scalewing Lightning Glands. Then, deliver them back to him at Toshley's Station in the Blade's Edge Mountains.
Objective by objective
- Kill or interact with Scalewing Serpent NPC #20749
- Collect Scalewing Lightning Gland item #30849
The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
We haven't kept the use of the Zephyrium Capacitorium under budget. But, it occurs to me that the serpents of the Scalewing Shelf to the east have a lightning breath and glands that we can make use of.
I've repolarized the magneto collector to absorb lightning strikes and I want you to head up there, activate it on yourself, and get us some cheap fuel from those serpents.
Progress
The trick to using the repolarized magneto sphere is to know when to turn it off before you end up getting truly fried.
Of course, you need to balance that against how many of those flying serpents you want to have to face.
Speaking of which, have you managed to charge up the sphere?
Completion
Woo hoo, it worked! To be honest I wasn't sure... I calculated a twenty-three point seven two chance that you'd implode by the third strike.
< Toshley grins innocently.>
So, now we know that the sphere works, we should have no problem meeting our energy needs for the Zephyrium Capacitorium. Well, that is if we can find more volunteers to go out there and get zapped.
Still, you've pioneered our efforts and deserve something in return!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Blade's Edge Mountains), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
