What does this information mean?

This quest can be done by all players, whether you have purchased the Splitpaw Saga Adventure Pack or not.

Steps

  1. Examining the darkened shard will give an image of the bone structure that is the entrance to Sundered Splitpaw: Delving Into the Darkness. The structure is called a Terraporter.
  2. You must go to any of the Terraporters in The Thundering Steppes to update the quest. There are 4 of them, spread along the Thundermist Road. Known locations include:
    • 710, -2, -414 ) Copy
    • 1023, -1, 247 ) Copy
    • 548, -1, -507 ) Copy
    • 1267, -3, 208 ) Copy
  3. After finding a terraporter, you should click it to enter Sundered Splitpaw: Delving Into the Darkness.
    • Note: This is intended to be a solo instance. You can take a group, however, only the one who activates the terraporter gets credit for the quest; you would have to run the instance again for each group member working this quest.
    • Do not allow yourself to be attacked by the "abductor" gnoll guarding the terraporter.
    • If you are captured by the abductor, you will be sent to a different instance called Sundered Splitpaw: Captive Audience which does not advance this quest.
  4. Once inside, you must find what the cave has to do with the gem. To make a long story short, you need to open up a chest located at the bottom of the dungeon.
  5. The copper key that unlocks the chest is held by The Tesch Val Fanatic. He is found at ( -126, -68, -99 ) Copy.
  6. Once you have slain the Fanatic and obtained the key, you'll find that the chest is located on top of a pillar nearby, far out of reach. You must stack up several crates that are laying throughout the zone at the base of the pillar, to build yourself a staircase up to the chest.
  7. When you open the chest you will find a slightly glowing shard. Examine this to make it fuse together with the original a darkened azure shard. The new shard will disappear and then update your quest journal. You can now exit via the terraporter at the entrance to proceed with the quest. You will end up in Village_of_Thundermist in The Thundering Steppes.
    • Note: If you do this with a group, you still only get one key, opening the chest will get everyone a chance to grab a slightly glowing shard.

You can now access the rest of the Splitpaw Saga adventure pack. The remainder of the quest is listed on the page A Darkened Shard, Part 2 (shown above as the "next step").

Reward

  • a slightly glowing shard - Examine it and it will merge with your a darkened shard, letting you access the rest of the Splitpaw Adventure Pack
