What to do

Bring Antheol's Elemental Grimoire to Instructor Antheol at Stillwhisper Pond in Eversong Woods.

The quest giver's words

Antheol is going to fly off his rocker when he finds out his book is ruined. I've got a little proposal for you; don't worry, I'll make it worth your while.

Take this book to him and tell him nothing of this incident. If he asks, just tell him you dropped the book into a puddle. He has no direct authority over you, so there's not much he can do.

Antheol delivers his lectures at Stillwhisper Pond, southeast of Silvermoon. You'll do this for us, right? I'll reward you handsomely for this favor!

Progress

What calls for this interruption to my lecture, <class>?

Completion

You say those two incompetent fools bribed you to lie to me? You've done very well in coming to me, <name>.

Category: Eversong Woods.

What you need

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.

Observed, what players here were paid: 154 experience (median of 1 run), 1s 25c (median of 1 run).

The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.

  • Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 140 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 1 completed run. 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 1 run by 1 player – 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 1) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet

Timings

Observed, not a fact about the game: 1 completed run behind the medians, 1 recorded attempt in total.
22 min 21 s median time (accept → turn in) from 1 run

Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

22 min 21 s fastest recorded run slowest 22 min 21 s

1 / 1 turned in / attempted nobody abandoned it

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

0.0 deaths per attempt 0 deaths in total

0 tracked kills, typically 154 XP, done around level 8.

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 (Eversong Woods), 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.
