Objectives

Discover the location of the Western Crystal Pylon.

• Discover and examine the Western Crystal Pylon

Description

Durrin's research touched on one area that intrigues me: a potential link between the titans and the dinosaurs. J.D. Collie back at camp is always talking about titan this and crystal that... maybe she'd be interested.

Before you report to her, you might want to check out the crystal pylon not far from here. It's just up in the cliffs, to the west of here. It's got crystals on it, and it always seemed to me like it might have something to do with the titans.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 85
• 8170 XP

Completion

A pylon in the west? And a relationship between titans and dinosaurs? This is a lot to take in, <name>.

Notes

• The pylon is a short distance up the cliffside west of Golakka Hot Springs, atop a prominent rise up from the crater floor.^[23, 59] The path to either side of the rise is steep but walkable, and the pylon is visible from the crater floor.
• The Dweller in the Cliffs stands right next to the pylon, so it will be encountered while completing  [15-30] Town Dwellers Were Made to be Saved. It is not unreasonable to delay the end of the "Saved" quest until it syncs up with this one, but the distances are not that far; the pylon can simply be returned to later.

Previous progression

The subject of this section was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 4.0.3a but is present in Classic.

Pylon quests existed prior to Cataclysm, but had a much less involved lead-up storyline and were given directly by J.D. Collie.

1.  [15-30] Crystals of Power
2. All of:
   •  [15-30] The Western Pylon
   •  [15-30] The Northern Pylon
   •  [15-30] The Eastern Pylon
3.  [53] Making Sense of It
4. Repeatable power crystal turn-in quests:
   • Eastern Pylon:  [15-30] Crystal Force and  [15-30] Crystal Spire
   • Northern Pylon:  [15-30] Crystal Charge and  [15-30] Crystal Restore
   • Western Pylon:  [15-30] Crystal Ward and  [15-30] Crystal Yield

Patch changes

• Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Replaced by new version in a new quest chain for the Cataclysm zone revamp.

  Players who had completed this previously do not have credit for the new version. This removes access to the repeatable power crystal turn-in quests until the new quest chain is completed.
