WoW Forever hides a secret quest line that restores two ancient Highborne blades, Eluvi'ana and Eluvi'tor. Players of the WoW Secret Finding Discord have found its first steps, gathered on Warcraft Wiki: the route below leads to Eluvi'ana, then as far as anyone has gone toward Eluvi'tor, with every item checked against the game's own data.
Before you start
- The Ancient Heirloom. The Skyborne get this ring from their first quest, Coming of Age, in Thendal Village. Any other character can pick one up from the top floor of the tower at 41.7, 23.4 on Zephras Isle. Wear it: it reveals people and objects of the secret that stay hidden otherwise.
- The Night Watchman's Torch. It lies on the body of a Night Watch Guard at one of six spots in Duskwood, among them Raven Hill (17.2, 54.4) and Brightwood Grove (66.0, 33.8). The body starts the quest An Unfortunate End, which gives you the torch. It also lights your way while you explore.
- Getting to Zephras. Airships leave from the north end of Dalaran in the Alterac Mountains (12.5, 51.8) and from Mulgore (34.3, 25.8). No Skyborne pack is needed.
You can start in your 20s, but the later steps ask you to get through the Capital Gardens of Dire Maul.
Part one: Eluvi'ana
- On Zephras, at the back of the Ruins of Ban'aethal (58.1, 24.1), the torch reveals the Ancient Hilt. A world boss, Altairus, guards it: pull him and run until he flies away. Looting the hilt starts the quest The Ancient Hilt.
- Find the Ancient Skyborne Blade, a small glowing blue object on the ground. It shows up at several spots on Zephras, including 48.9, 72.7; 50.4, 44.3; 66.3, 43.2; and 59.9, 82.2.
- Take both to Ealaane Nimbuswalker near Valanaar (65.8, 74.4): the quest Eluvi'ana gives you the sword.
Eluvi'ana is an uncommon one-handed sword of item level 15, speed 2.50, bound when picked up and unique, with a single line of text: "The Night Dancer." What the rest of the secret does with it is not known yet.
Part two: the globe, toward Eluvi'tor
The Befouled Water Globe.
- Horde: finish the Blackfathom Deeps quest Baron Aquanis, then speak to Je'neu Sancrea again at Zoram'gar Outpost in Ashenvale (11.6, 34.2). He hands over the globe.
- Alliance: gather 20 Mathystral Amulet Fragments from the Stormscale naga around the Ruins of Mathystra in Darkshore and combine them at the Fathom Stone (59.2, 22.6). The Mathystral Amulet summons Baron Marinous, a level 21 elite, whose Clouded Water Globe starts a quest. Turn it in to Onu in the Grove of the Ancients (43.6, 76.4), then speak to him again for the globe.
The trail of the blades.
- With the ring on, a Highborne spirit waits on the coast of Ashenvale (15.8, 19.4). Show him the globe and he sends you after Athrikus Narassin: defeat him atop the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore (56.4, 26.5), take the Azsharan Key from his body and open his strongbox for Narassin's Tome.
- With the tome, the spirit points you to the Shen'dralar: Mordent, at Evenshade's Overlook in Shen'dralas (35.0, 46.6). He reads it and asks for three reagents.
The three reagents.
- A Star of Elune, in a Shen'dralar vault in the Ruins of Isildien, in Feralas (58.5, 71.6). Four switches, visible only with the ring on, must be thrown within 15 seconds of each other: it takes five players.
- An Abyssal Mote, in an underwater chest in Azshara (66.0, 54.1). The chest opens only after a demon quest line that starts in the Blasted Lands.
- 20 Tears of Anguish, from the Anguished and Suffering Highborne on the frozen Lake Kel'Theril, in Winterspring.
The ritual, then Dire Maul. Bring everything to the Shrine of Coalescence in Mount Hyjal (72.7, 37.2) and use the globe: it becomes the Cleansed Water Globe. Mordent then sends you into Dire Maul to Prince Tortheldrin, who will not speak of the blades to anyone his court has not honored. The next step seems to require Honored with the Shen'dralar, and that is where the trail stops for now. We will update this page as the community goes further.
Where this comes from
The route is the work of the WoW Secret Finding Discord, as Warcraft Wiki documents it. Every item named here exists in the game's data, and our item pages show what the game says of each one. Blizzard has said nothing about the secret.
