Polished Crystal

Crystal-Shaper Barum(?)(?) is located @ (76,55) upon quest completion. Currently the ? on the map shows the wrong location.

You can not turn this quest in until you have completed or started Burning Sky and Pieces of Us obtainable from Crystal-Shaper Barum. However you can still accept this quest and complete all the tasks prior to starting the required quests.

I suggest first getting They Came From Above quest and go with the questline, so that You do not lose breadcrumb quest.

Comment by Orann

How do you get those quests if the quest giver is invisible because you've completed this one

Found him, go to 73.08 38.73 that will give you the required quests to allow you to turn this one in.

Dear Wowhead staff, your formatting system for replies sucks.

If like me, you came across this quest randomly, AND don't see any quest givers at Fort Wrynn, have checked and you haven't completed Burning Skies or Pieces of Us. Have a cruise down to /way Talador 73.06 38.69 (or to the 3 way crossroads just a little south east of Vol'jin's Pride) - Found him standing next to a burning cart with his daughter.
