Cryptograms and Keys
A verified Blizzard quest record from Korthia. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Korthia, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The repositories of knowledge within Korthia have layers of security--for very good reasons. Each vault requires cryptographs in order to decode and disable the barriers. They are, for lack of a better term, the keys to every secret. Search outside the Vault for cryptographs stolen by the Mawsworn and return them to me. I will keep them, and the secrets they protect, safe.
Plan the run before you travel
Korthia belongs to the Shadowlands 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.
