This quest is part of the AQ Gates openning questline. You have to gather these materials so the gnome can make you an arcanite buoy that you can use to summon the shark boss in Azhara. The boss is easily killed by a 25man and it drops the blue scepter shard.

Good way to get the gems in by farming Thorium Ore (or buying it if your not a miner), and have a JCer prospect it. You'll get other gems, but on most server, the sapphires and diamonds are like 40-50g+.

As for the Arcanite Bars, you can just buy the bars, or the mats for them and get them xmuted.. or you can find a xmute spec Alchemist to transmute them for you, you might get lucky with some proc's, so you use less mats.

As for the ore, thats a little harder. You have a few different options to make it a quick BWL run.

1) Convince your guildies to help you out.

2) Bribe a warlock friend of yours to help you out with the run. They'll need to farm a lot of Soul Shards to summon people inside BWL (You don't need to be attuned to be inside, but you do need to be attuned to zone in normally). I say this cuz most people that you pug won't be attuned. To try to persuide people to goto BWL, you can play the Achievement card and hope for the best. Don't be discuraged if pugs or guild grps don't happen the first time, or 2nd or 3rd. It is all just a part of the game.

3) Advertise to buy the ore. There might be people that did BWL pre-Wrath for the achivement and have some ore in their mules bank or something.

Next step of the quest, I helped a friend do it pre-wrath.
Rogue, Enhancement Shaman, and me(Frost mage). The shaman was BT/Sunwell geared (as well as the rogue and myself). The shaman pulled agro off any tank if they suck, even now at 80 while doing MASSIVE dmg, so the shark was a breeze. Doing it now at 80 shouldn't involve more than a dps and a healer.. If your a tank, than get a dps and a healer to help you out.

Completing this quest will trigger the following mail response from Narain Soothfancy after a few days (not sure about how many days it was).

From: Narain Soothfancy
Subject: <none>

Champion,

The Blue Dragonflight believes that you are fated for greater things than even I could predict.

Despite what some would have you believe, our world needs heroes. In your darkest hour, when you face the blight of Kalimdor, recall the epic journeys, trials, and tribulations that you undertook for an old gnome and let those memories lift your spirits.

Humbly,

Narain Soothfancy

P.S. Sorry about the repair costs.

This is easily the hardest step in the entire chain nowadays.

"Roamin' what the hells wrong?"
"Ok... I have some bad news... and I have some good news..."

I think anyone who recognizes this can figure out the rest... ;)

The new built-in quest tracker indicates that you get Elementium Ore from Un'Goro Crater. It only drops from Blackwing Technicians in Blackrock Lair.

This quest should've been assigned by Professor Putricide.

So I'm confused. Im on the AQ quest chain and I turned in The Charge of the Dragonflights. I now have to find these 3 shards. ATM I am trying to get the blue one, but I went to the little gnome and apparently I already did the quest to get the buoy and cant find it. Is there any way to get another or is there a way to have Maws spawn without it? Or else i just screwed myself over with this entire chain...

Comentado por Daemonian

I have an issue with this quest. I've done the whole previous ones and I've never obtained the mission to continue... Need anything? Attument? Reputation?

Thanks in advance,
Dae

Hi Dae

I got this quest today as soon as I handed in the complete "Draconic for Dummies II". My rep is Honored with the Brood, not sure if this makes any difference though.

Comentado por Zorie

I got some good news and some bad news, the bad news are there are no good news, the good news are you are almost done with probably the longest chain in the game.

Comentado por 660588

when i got pugs together to complete this quest i made sure they knew the ore was on reserve and had it set to Master looter. Then you just loot all bodies that you can loot and you'll find them. Also ninja pulls will get the group killing. Like you said their IQ drops so they just kill whatever is coming at them.

I pull + fade and then let the tanks worry about it :D

I have also done all the quests up to this one and I know I'm suppose to pick it up from Narain Soothfancy, but when I click on him he just tells me I can train from the book on the table. :( I am Revered with Brood of Nozdormu.

Comentado por 682168

is it still possible to get the quest: ■Treasure of the Timeless One?
i know i cant get title or mount, but still wanna do it =)

Comentado por Keijupoika

By far the most expensive quest I've ever done.

Comentado por MasterTS

I currently have this quest in my log. I'm certain it's a mistake but for whatever reason my map is highlighting an area in Un'goro Crater. I have every item in my possession except for the Ingots. All the Arcanite Bars, Azerothian Diamonds and Blue Sapphires are accounted for.

Anyways, I'm sure this doesn't mean that there's a way to get the Ingots from the volcano...ha ha ha.

...is there? o.o

This quest is no longer attainable, as of patch 4.0.1, even if you did the pre-quests, confirmed today with the help of a GM. He told me all these quests (listed as the chain) have been "deprecated".

So long, most epic quests ever.

PS: Rate this up to help the people looking for this answer.

Quest has been removed - From a GM ticket request when i couldn't attain the quest

Thank you for submitting your ticket request regarding the quest The Good News and The Bad News. I wanted to let you know that this quest is no longer available in game. I am sorry for the any inconvenience this may have caused you.

So much for completing the last 4 quests to do my AQ line... Thats what i get for waiting 5 years to hand in the last few quests

Comentado por 621394

I picked up this quest today, after handing in the required shards. Strange you couldn't get it.

I was able to finish Draconic For Dummies: Volume II quest and pick up The Good News and The Bad News just a few moments ago. Last minute for sure! haha

Comentado por Moxson

I'm so pissed, even though Narain still exists in the game this quest was removed From My questlog once patch 4.0.3 released. Is the quest reobtainable From Narain? I still have the Items to turn the q in

The Good News and The Bad News

Essa missão foi marcada como obsoleta pela Blizzard e não pode ser adquirida ou completada.

Narain Soothfancy in Tanaris wants you to bring him 20 Arcanite Bars, 10 Elementium Ore, 10 Azerothian Diamonds, and 10 Blue Sapphires.

	Barra de Arcanita (20)
	Lingote de Elemêntio (10)
	Diamante Azerotiano (10)
	Safira Azul (10)

Descrição

Well that took a little longer than expected. Now let me see what this ledger says.

<Narain silently reads the ledger, periodically mumbling under his breath.>

The good news is that I am 99% certain that I am capable of creating an arcanite buoy that will function to your specifications. This is, of course, wholly dependant on the bad news.

The bad news is that I'm going to need a lot of arcanite, elementium ore, and rare gemstones.

Bring me what I need and I will craft the buoy.
