What to do
Find someone at the Throne of the Elements that knows how to speak Kalimag and show them the Howling Wind.
The quest giver's words
This amorphous mass of elemental air is speaking to you in a language that you cannot understand. You believe the language to be the tongue of the elements: Kalimag. Perhaps someone at the Throne of the Elements could shed some insight on this unusual find.
Progress
Give it here! Quickly!
Completion
It is a distress call, <race>. An outside force is attempting to subvert the elements.
Category: Nagrand.

By character level
Level Experience Share 64–72 11,650 100% 73 9,300 80% 74 7,000 60% 75 4,650 40% 76 2,350 20% 77–89 1,150 10% 90 none 69s 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 11,650 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
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 23 min 19 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 12,815 XP, done around level 68.
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 (Nagrand), 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.
- pick up
- turn in
- where players die – not published yet
Where they happened is shown once at least 5 characters from at least two different people have done this quest (now 1 from 1): unlike the route, a death spot is about the player, not the quest.
- Pick up
- 0.710, 0.480 median of 1 recorded accept on Nagrand
- Turn in
- 0.600, 0.220 median of 1 recorded turn-in on Nagrand
- Deaths during this quest
- 1 death, in 1 run Only deaths between accepting and finishing this quest count. Where they happened is not published yet – see the map above.
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.

The analyser has not published tips for this quest yet. These are read straight off the raw runs on this page, with the evidence spelled out.
