Quest Text
I knew joining the Dragonscale Expedition meant venturing into dangerous territory. But I was not expecting to fight off elementals! Our dig site at the Life Vault Ruins is in complete disarray! Stone monstrosities are rising up out of the ground! We called in an elementalist to consult, but I believe she will need all the help she can get. Perhaps you can help her? Our camp is just across the river.
Plan the run before you travel
The Waking Shores belongs to the Dragonflight 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.
