Return of the Friendly Dryskin

WotLK Classic Northrend Leveling Guide

Both Factions • Sholazar Basin • Level 77 • The Sundered Shard

Return to Rainspeaker Canopy and speak to High-Oracle Soo-say.

This is the quest that actually unlocks the Oracle dailies, and it is the one people miss. Take it from Jaloot in the cave alongside Hand of the Oracles, before you leave. Plenty of players have turned in Hand of the Oracles, flown off, and then found no dailies waiting and no way to get this quest without killing Artruis again the next day. Once you have it, fly to Rainspeaker Canopy (54.6, 56.4) and speak to Soo-say. No combat involved. The three Oracle daily givers open up on turn-in.

“Yay! Soo-say probably worrying about us! Maybe you go back to town and tell him everything okay? Yeah, go tell Soo-say. I going grab shiny ball thing from dead lich guy – I meet you there! Go go! I meet you there!”

Quest Giver: Jaloot — at The Sundered Shard, after completing Hand of the Oracles

Turn In: High-Oracle Soo-say at Rainspeaker Canopy [54.6, 56.4]

Objective: Return to Rainspeaker Canopy and speak to High-Oracle Soo-say.

Quick Facts

Level: 77
Type: Breadcrumb (no combat)
Rewards: Gold. Officially introduces you to High-Oracle Soo-say as an Oracle ally and unlocks Oracle daily quests.
Prerequisite: Hand of the Oracles (must be completed first)

Walkthrough

Accept this quest from Jaloot immediately after completing Hand of the Oracles at the Sundered Shard cave. Do not leave the cave without picking this up.

This is the quest that actually unlocks Oracle dailies, and missing it is a well-documented problem. Multiple players complete Hand of the Oracles, leave the cave, and then are unable to access dailies because they never picked up Return of the Friendly Dryskin.

Jaloot despawns quickly, and if you miss the quest, you must kill Artruis again.

Jaloot’s parting line is “I going grab shiny ball thing from dead lich guy – I meet you there!” He’s going back for Artruis’s phylactery, the same object you just looted for your quest reward. Then he beats you to Rainspeaker Canopy anyway.

Fly to Rainspeaker Canopy [54.6, 56.4] and speak to High-Oracle Soo-say. His completion dialogue confirms your acceptance: Jaloot already beat you there, and Soo-say has heard from both Jaloot and Moodle about your heroics. After turn-in, the three Oracle daily quest givers become available at Rainspeaker Canopy.

Lore Context

Soo-say’s dialogue ties together the entire Mosswalker arc. He mentions that Moodle told him how you saved the Mosswalkers, connecting your rescue efforts from The Mosswalker Savior and Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine back to your new role with the Oracles. It’s a small but satisfying narrative payoff for the entire chain.
