Chained essence of eranikus questline

So, this quest line still seems to be either broken or still fully unfinished.

Can we at least get some of this stuff fixed? :frowning:

Edit: To avoid confusion, I’m not talking about the boss drop then turning it in at the braizer, I’m talking about the quest line afterwards.

I have this trinket.

You kill the dragon, he drops the essence, you accept the quest and turn it in the corner of the same room. What seems to be the deal people are having?

Oh i see that now after a bit of research.

There’s a follow up quest chain.

You take the essence to Swamp of Sorrows, to the south western corner, and find Itharius, a Green Dragon in elf form. You talk to him via a dialogue option (You need to have used the trinket a few times to get his name mentioned) upon completing the dialogue options, you get an item that “Begins a quest” an Oathstone, turning in the Oathstone, and the Chained Essence, was suppose to start a quest chain about Saving Eranikus.

However, it gets one quest into this, and just, ends. Abruptly without warning, despite the quest text, and everything implying it was going to continue.

I was kinda hoping broken stuff like this would have been fixed in Classic. There’s no bonuses to leaving a questchain like this broken. Just feels really crappy.

You either continue to use the trinket, torturing the Green dragon inside of it, vendor it for 62 silver, or start the questline, and just have it abruptly end without any closure.

man i forgot it was unfinished until i went to do it again and was like ahhh thats right

The questline is literally unfinished.

The dragon begs you to return his essence to the swamp of Sorrows and free him from his torment. You go there, Turn in the trinket and… thats it. You get a bit of gold and exp but the chain just ends despite being heavily hinted at having a way to continue.

Technically you get one more quest, that sends you to Wintergrasp, to talk to a human in a shed, then the quest ends.

Do you? I didn’t end up doing it myself.
It feels bad but the trinket is actually really useful in pvp for locking all those undead rogues out of stealth for 50 seconds.

I don’t think they ever finished it. Seems like in Cata you just turn it in and it ends.

It’s sort of like the discs of uldum or whatever where they were just hinting at a possible future raid with an existing dungeon. I hope Classic+ is implemented and paves in the gaps so to speak.

Not much of a PvPer myself, So I didn’t really think it was that useful post the first few levels.

Also felt bad everytime I used it. X_x;

That quest has always ended at the brazier.

They said they’re not doing any changes that includes all the unfinished quests

There’s a hidden part of the quest where you can find a guy in the Swamp of Sorrows and he sends you off to someone else and you turn in the essence for gold + exp
It’s worded like it’s supposed to go on further but it doesn’t cause it’s unfinished.

The should at least finish unfinished vanilla related content.

Sure maybe they didn’t have enough time to really flesh that out and fix it back then, but they have plenty of time to do it now.

I always wondered what the random area of elite dragonkin in wetlands was about…
