Quest Text
While I'm glad to have most of Krasus's Compendium back, it's useless without the heliotrope oculus. You see, Krasus was well aware of the sheer power of the spells recorded in the book and took steps to safeguard them from prying eyes. Only a knowledgeable mage can use the oculus to unlock the compendium's secrets. During Kael'thas's attack, one of his lieutenants, Spellreaver Marathelle, looted it and took it to Sunfury Hold northeast of the tower. No doubt she thought it a pretty little bauble.
Plan the run before you travel
Netherstorm belongs to the The Burning Crusade archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
