in the cave directly to the NE of the book

Comment by Alfa

Once inside the cave (69.2 22.4), you'll have to kill Lor Stonefist for the quest item Rough Crystal Shard.

Comment by Aaahead

for this quest; see step 2 below.

Info on the full "The Crystal Reborn" quest chain, one of the six quest chain criteria for the Master Relic Hunter (Alliance)/ Master Relic Hunter (Horde) achievement needed to get the Harrison Jones follower with Extreme Scavenger and unique Mentor traits. This chain takes place primarily in northeast Spires of Arak, the southernmost Draenor zone.

Getting Starter Quests: The first quest is given by Harrison Jones, who turns up just inside your garrison's Town Hall on random days. He's in some garrisons every day; use Group Finder's Premade Groups/Custom category to search for "Harrison" to see if anyone is inviting people to their garrison to get the quest.

Bug Notes:

Leave at least one spot free in your quest log (i.e. 24 of 25), or a quest may become uncompletable going from one quest to the next.
You can not do these quests in a raid group; doing some steps in a raid group can make a quest uncompletable.
If a quest becomes uncompletable, you can return to your garrison, delete the quest, and re-accept the quest on that step of the quest chain from the book of Relic Hunting Notes on the ground next to Harrison Jones. Quests are also shareable from party members, if you are on the same step of the quest chain.

1. Treasure Contract: The Artificer: in Spires of Arak. Fly to Akeeta's Hovel flightpoint on the border of Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak, and follow the path southeast. After a short distance, before passing rocks on each side of the road or reaching a fork in the road, a message should be displayed saying you've completed the one of the two quest criteria, "Find the missing Artificer", and a yellow dot will appear on the minimap showing Artificer Maatun's corpse and Artificer Maatun's Journal on the ground. Click the journal, then click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

Bag Space Tip: After you get credit for completing this quest, you can safely delete Artificer Maatun's Journal from your bags. It's just for interesting reading. Each Harrison Jones quest chain leaves a similar soulbound book in your inventory (click for list).

2. Dream of Argus: The First Fragment: in Spires of Arak. Continue along the path, taking a left at the fork in the road into a cave (entrance at ). Kill Lor Stonefist, loot Rough Crystal Shard, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

3. Dream of Argus: The Second Fragment: . Head back out of the cave to the fork in the road, and take the other path, continuing south/southeast along the path, through an archway, past some mobs and big pink crystals, to the first hut on the right at . There can be quite a few mobs from the archway until you reach the hut. Kill Vok Blacktongue, loot Cracked Crystal Shard, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

4. Dream of Argus: The Final Fragment: . Head northeast out of the hut across a clearing to a path leading up a hill (it starts at ). Turn right at the first branch a short ways up the hill ( - if you pass a cave you went too far), and when you pass through a stone archway and see a void portal on your right, take a hard right up that hill (off the path) to a peak/cliff at . There can be quite a few mobs until you reach the archway. If there are just some talbuks at the peak, wait a moment until Jagganath (195k health) and Koros Soulsplinter (489k health) respawn. Kill them, loot Smooth Crystal Shard from Koros, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

5. Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn: in a cave in Shadowmoon Valley. Make your down the hill (northwest, north, then northeast) to around in Spires of Arak, across the zone border into Shadowmoon Valley. Continue to a cave entrance at in Shadowmoon Valley, and go in the cave; if you glide in (e.g. using Aviana's Feather) rather than walk in, the "Find the device" quest criteria may not complete, so walk back out and back in. Once inside, click the altar at to place the crystal shards, then click the Inner Ring, Middle Ring, and Outer Ring until the three types of purple crystals on the rings line up with the matching purple crystals on the altar. When they're lined up just right, you can click the crystal in the center of the altar to loot a Dream of Argus. NOTE: Each of the three purple crystals is a differently-shaped rune, and they must be lined up together - if you're zoomed out, this may not be as obvious, so zoom in until you see the shapes clearly. If you line up all three of the round-shaped crystals on the rings with the round-shaped symbol on the outermost stone, then the other two shapes of crystals will also be lined up.

Double-check that the quest is complete, and hearth back to your garrison to turn the quest in to Bodrick Grey (Alliance) or Rokhan (Horde).

Problems:

If you can't click the center crystal to start turning the rings, check to make sure the first part of the quest, "Find the reconstruction device", is marked as completed; if not, walk out and back in to the cave to complete it.
If you can't click the center crystal even after the rings are properly aligned, or if it's just too crowded to align things with all the people clicking, you might have success realm-hopping (joining parties, not raids, with friends on other realms) to get different instances of the altar.
If you aren't getting credit for clicking the center crystal, one person reported success logging off and back on.

@Aaahead's directions are very exact, and as well written as any I have seen on Wowhead!

Once you have killed Vok Blacktongue, and finished The Second Fragment, you might like to use my macro below to navigate to the Final Fragment and on to the Cave Entrance for The Crystal Reborn.

If using TomTom and you wait untill after killing Vok to use the macro, the waypoints should function properly to complete the route. I added Coordinates for the Hard Right Turn which made the backtracking portion before the peak/cliff flow correctly.

One change I look forward to making is trying a glider for the final leg to the Cave Entrance... "Priceless!"

/way 74.4, 30.2 START
/way 73.9, 28.9 turn RIGHT
/way 72.1 24.6 HARD right
/way 75.0, 26.1 PEAK/cliff
/way Shadowmoon Valley:Draenor 32.7, 45.3 cave ENTR

NOTE: if you are not GLIDING, but travelling on foot or by ground mount, be aware that there is a moderately high dropoff just before you reach the "cave ENTR". Use Slow Fall, Azure Water Strider, etc. to avoid falling damage.

1. Treasure Contract: The Artificer
• Fly to Akeeta's Hovel (65.6, 17.5) at the border between Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak (if you don't have this, you will need to fly to Crow's Crook in Spires of Arak and travel northeast).
• Once at Akeeta's Hovel, take the path to the left, leading southeast to coordinates 67.4, 21.8.
• Pick up the Artificer's Journal.

2. Dream of Argus: The First Fragment
• Travel into the cave on your left, the entrance is located at coordinates 69.5, 22.3
• Kill Lor Stonefist.
• Loot the Rough Crystal Shard.

3. Dream of Argus: The Second Fragment
• Exit the cave and take the path on the left (southeast).
• Enter the hut at coordinates 73, 32.
• Kill Vok Blacktongue (avoid the black swirls on the ground).
• Loot the Cracked Crystal Shard.

4. Dream of Argus: The Final Fragment
• Exit the hut and take the path up the hill (74.2, 30.1).
• Take the right at the fork in the road, and continue up hill.
• Once at the top of the hill, past the "Stonehenge" monument (72.3, 25.6), take a right.
• Continue to coordinates 75.4, 25.3.
• Kill Koros Soulsplinter.
• Loot the Smooth Crystal Shard.

5. Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn
• Travel down the hill to coordinates 32.2, 45.9, and jump down (CAREFUL ON USE OF SLOW FALL / LEVITATE... otherwise you may end up going off the edge and have to fly back to Akeeta's Hovel and ride to the cave again)
• Enter the cave, Shadowmoon Mine
• Click the Place Crystal
• Three wheels, with three different symbols will appear, along with 3 stones on the outside edge of the circle.
• Line up the three symbols on the wheels, by clicking them, with the symbols on the stones.
• Lightning will appear out of the outside edge stones and hit the center stone (signaling that you have done the wheels correctly). I've found that the best strategy for the wheels is to pick one of the symbols and line up the wheel's symbols to the corresponding stone symbol.
• Loot the Dream of Argus and turn in the quest at your garrison (be careful not to click the wheels again when looting the Dream of Argus, otherwise you'll have to do the wheels again).

Dream of Argus: The First Fragment

Follow the clue from the journal to find Lor Stonefist. Defeat her and claim the Rough Crystal Shard.

	Follow the clue to find the Rough Crystal Shard (1)
	Rough Crystal Shard (1)

Description

In his quest to restore the Dream of Argus, Maatun enlisted the help of three orcs. These same orcs betrayed him and took the crystal shards before they could be combined. If you find these orcs, they may still have them. The first target shouldn't be far. The journal reads: "I was told she spent most of her time in the crystal cave to the north of the encampment. There she studied the native crystals for ways to improve their potential abilities."
