To Stars’ Rest!

Quest 2 of 2 in the Stars' Rest Chain (Finale)
Alliance • Dragonblight • Level 72 • Stars' Rest
Fly to Stars' Rest on the scripted gryphon and speak with the Image of Archmage Modera.
Rodney Wells at the Wintergarde Keep gryphon station. Accepting the quest automatically places you on a fast gryphon to Stars' Rest. No manual travel. Important: Dismount and cancel shapeshift forms before accepting or the auto-flight will error and you'll have to abandon and reacquire the quest. You land at Stars' Rest [29, 55]. The Image of Archmage Modera is at the outpost's center. Grab the Stars' Rest flight path if this is your first visit. Several quest lines open up immediately, including Rifle the Bodies, Prevent the Accord, and A Strange Device. Pick them all up before heading out.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Stars' Rest materialized from the snow: a night elf outpost of purple banners and moonwell light among ancient pines. Archmage Modera's projection shimmered at the center: "Vas heard my distress call then, eh? Not a moment too soon, friend."

“When you are ready I will place you on my fastest gryphon to Stars’ Rest. Once you get there, find and speak with Archmage Modera. Good luck, ally!”

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Rodney Wells — Gryphon station, Wintergarde Keep, Dragonblight

Objective: Speak with the Image of Archmage Modera at Stars’ Rest in western Dragonblight.

 

Walkthrough

  • Accept the quest from Rodney Wells at the gryphon station. Upon accepting, you are immediately placed on a fast gryphon and flown directly to Stars’ Rest. There’s no manual travel required.
  • Dismount and cancel shapeshift forms before accepting. If you’re mounted, you’ll get “You are already mounted! Dismount first.” If shapeshifted (druids), you’ll get “You can’t take a taxi while shapeshifted!” In either case you’ll need to abandon the quest and reacquire it from Rodney Wells.
  • Once you land at Stars’ Rest [29, 55], speak with the Image of Archmage Modera to complete the quest. She’ll comment: “Vas heard my distress call then, eh? Not a moment too soon, friend.”
  • Pick up the flight path at Stars’ Rest if this is your first visit. This is the main Alliance flight point for western Dragonblight.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Stars’ Rest opens up several quest lines immediately, including Rifle the Bodies, Prevent the Accord, and A Strange Device. Grab them all before heading out.
  • The gryphon ride is faster than a normal flight path, so don’t worry about finding your own way there.

Rodney Wells wasted no time.

“When you’re ready, I’ll place you on my fastest gryphon to Stars’ Rest. Find Archmage Modera when you arrive.” He clasped my arm. “Good luck, ally.”

The Image of Archmage Modera was waiting when I landed. She looked me over once, and even through the projection I felt the weight of a Kirin Tor assessment.

“Vas heard my distress call then, eh? Not a moment too soon, friend.”

Whatever was wrong with the ley lines, I’d learn soon enough.
