What to do

Obtain Grand Vizier Ertan's Heart.

Objective by objective

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

I've a feeling I was able to escape my captors because, frankly, there is nowhere to go.

Stranded on these platforms, they are bound to find me sooner or later. Unless...

It is said that the heart of an elemental noble can grant whoever holds it the characteristics of that element. Which, in the case of air, would be most useful during a downward trip.

Bring me Grand Vizier Ertan's heart so I can use its magic to land safely on the shoreline of Uldum.

Progress

You'd best not suggest I ride with you on... whatever that thing is you flew in on.

Completion

I thank you, <name>. Even after I had escaped, I did not imagine I'd be able to return home.

Category: The Vortex Pinnacle (Dungeon).

What you need

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 (The Vortex Pinnacle), 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.
