What to do
Take the Encrusted Silithid Object to Umber - the Cenarion Circle's archivist - in the village of Nighthaven, Moonglade.
The quest giver's words
There's plenty to do here still, but I think taking this back to the Circle for analysis is key. Trust me - the work will still be here once this is all said and done. If it's a journal inside this sticky chitin, then the Circle would finally have a window into the past!
Take this to the Circle's archivist in Nighthaven. His name is Umber, and the man's brilliant. Touched, sure, but brilliant nonetheless! Umber 's salvaged tomes in far worse shape than this. If it can be saved, he can do it.
Progress
Why, hello there! Hrmm...
Let me be a little honest with you, friend... you smell a bit ripe. Whiffy, one might say. Now I'm not making a personal assailment of your being. I'm just saying... in the future, you may want to freshen up a little after coming in from the field. It will make those first impressions a little more positively impressionable!
Anyhoo... what can I do for you?
Completion
Well great monkey toads! What have you got here? It's sort of book shaped, I guess... I'll try and crack this shell on it.
Layo sent you to me from Silithus? I've only heard very hushed rumblings - which I guess aren't all that hushed when you think about it - about the horrors that are going on out there. Couple that with my lack of pleasure for anything bug-like, and you've got the recipe for me needing to stay here with the books!

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 (Silithus), 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.
