the Explorer Task IV: Call of Air

July 25, 2010 by kamaliaetalia

Just as you heard the Fire in your tenth season and the Water in your twentieth, in your thirtieth season you begin to hear the whisperings of the wind more clearly, the Call of Air reaching out to you to complete your mastery of the elements.

Along the northern wall of Thousand Needles, about halfway between the Great Lift and the Shimmering Flats, lies the Weathered Nook.


I used the Shaman Far Sight ability to put my viewpoint atop one of the Needles for this screenshot.


When I first came here with Kamalia, I was both relieved and disappointed that Prate Cloudseer just handed the Air Totem to me. Relieved that I wouldn’t have to go running all over the world again, but disappointed that I didn’t get to make an Air Sapta or speak with the Minor Manifestation of Air, as I had spoken with the Minor Manifestations of Earth, Fire, and Water, at all. I’d been wondering what strange wild place I’d find the Minor Manifestation of Air in, and what reagents would be required for an Air Sapta.

But, oh look! There was a quest right there, from Dorn Plainstalker standing in the cave behind Prate. If I hadn’t come up here for my Call of Air, I probably would never have gotten close enough to the Weathered Nook to notice it. Everyone can do this questline, and now I come by the Weathered Nook just to get it. The view from the first step alone is worth it.


The Test of Faith teleports you way up here and asks you to walk the plank….

A Draenei Shaman’s Call of Air takes her (or him) up a switchbacked path around the mountains behind the Exodar, also to a cave. You have to go way around the back of the Exodar just to find the start of the path, so most non-Shaman will probably never even discover that it is there unless they’re not AFK and are watching the scenery while riding the flight path from Blood Watch to the Exodar.

A Draenei Shaman actually gets to speak with the spirit of Air to receive their Air Totem.

The view from up here is breathtaking, though — the only vista in the Draenei Shaman totem quests that truly compares with the scenic overlooks from the Horde totem quests, in my opinion.


I hope you’ve enjoyed my tour through some lesser known, but well worth visiting, sites in the world that I discovered for myself while doing my Shaman totem quests. Now that I’ve shared them with you, perhaps you can go enjoy them, too, before the Cataclysm turns the world upside down.

    I LOVE the first screenshot you have for the Draenei part of this post.

    I’ve played multiple Horde shaman before, but I enjoyed seeing glimpses of the Draenei shaman quests. I’m inspired to go roll one now 🙂

    This is an absolutely lovely series you have done, Kamalia! I wish that the shaman (and druid!) class quests were still available in game – they gave you so much connection to your class, and allowed you to see some beautiful things in the world. Why, Blizz? WHY?

      Thank you! I miss class quests a lot, too. The quests to go into SFK for a weapon at level 20 and into BRD for a hat at level 50 aren’t much of a substitute for the old lore-heavy class quests.
