What to do
Sorrem wants you to find the Ancient Tablets.
Speak to Narimar at Furien's Post to ride to where Furien was known to study.
The quest giver's words
It is true that Furien dedicated his last days to a special research project. What that was, he would not share with me.
Fortunately, I was able to recover his journal, but it's written in a code that I cannot decipher.
Perhaps there is a clue to its translation in the region to the east where he spent his time.
Take the journal, <class>, and speak with Narimar when you are ready to investigate this mystery.
Completion
Comparing the characters on the ancient tablet to those in Furien's journal, it is clear that there is a distinct correlation.
Category: Desolace.
What you need
- Handed to you when you accept it
- Furien's Journal
The reward
No item reward.
- Money

- and 7s 20c more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 1,200
-
at level 35 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 27–35 1,200 100% 36 950 80% 37 725 60% 38 480 40% 39 240 20% 40–89 120 10% 90 none 7s 20c more money The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 1,200 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

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.
This guide rests on 2 completed runs. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 2 runs by 2 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 available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 2) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 2) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 2 from 2) not yet
Timings
Based on 2 completed runs. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 2 runs; mean 2 min.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 1,320 XP, done around level 31.
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 (Desolace), 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.

Objectives, in the order players do them
No objective progress has been uploaded for this quest yet. Once somebody plays it with the addon on, the objectives and their hotspots appear here automatically.
Tips
No tips yet – they need a handful of runs before they say anything true.
