Hidden Secrets

Speak with Magus Tirth in the Shimmering Flats.

Description

To make your wand, there are key passages in a certain book that I must read. The book is called Rituals of Power, written by the Magus Tirth.

I do not have a copy of his book, and none of the world's great libraries possess it. So you must speak with Tirth and gain it from him.

Good luck. Tirth used to be a great mage and scholar, but now he spends his time at the gnome and goblin races in the Shimmering Flats, drinking and gambling.

The Shimmering Flats can be found on the east side of "A Thousand Needles." The northwest corner starts at (70,56) and the southeast corner ends at (90,83). Anything pretty much within that square is going to be the shimmering flats. If you zoom out to just the continent Kalimdor, the Shimmering Flats can be found at coordinate (57,76) more or less.

Pre-Quest

As Horde you have to get pre-quest "Journey to the Marsh" from your friendly mage trainer before you can speak to Tabetha. I had to visit bloody Thott to find this info, shame on you!

There is no way to target plucky doing target plucky it will say unknown or it will target Riznek.&nbsp The chicken's name is "Plucky Johnson" not Plucky so /target "Plucky Johnson".&nbsp No reason to post wrong info and put down others spelling when you were wrong too. Anyway Just head on over by tower looks more like a platform with stairs than a tower lol.&nbsp Plucky Johnson is pretty hard to see, his cords are 79.75.&nbsp I hope this helps out some mages.&nbsp Good luck.

Magus is at 78,75. Talk to him first. Then walk across the racetrack lanes behind the Tower straight across from Magus (by all the little goblin things) at 79,75. I did /target "Plucky" Johnson (with quot marks) and then /beckon. He turned to human and walked to me. /beckon "Plucky" Johnson did not work for me. I just used /beckon once he was targeted.

k, i found this to be along trek so i took road out to thousand needles. once i got there i moved west along the mountain slope and used slow fall to fall into thousand needles. keep in mind there are guards at the base of the elevator. then just keep following the road toward the center of the circle of mountains on ur map. there are a few mobs to watch for but u can hug the wall to avoid the aggro, at times u may have to back track and climb on the ledge to avoid them. most are low level and beatable though just use ur head. magus and chicken are right where above mentioned location is. talked to him, then chicken, then /beckon as said, then back to magus, hearth and done. the hardest part for me was figuring out how to actually reach shimmering flats with all the mountains since i didnt realize the city was accessed from the elevators. so u wont actually slow fall into the city as i orinally thought. hope this helps the next person trying to get to shimmering flats.

When you use the /target "Plucky" Johnson, you need to make sure to use the quotation marks or else you'll target Pozzick which is not the same person.

If this is your first time venturing into the marsh - be sure to get your flightpath whilst in the village

The correct coordinates are 78.3, 75.7. The quest is turned in right near the Shimmering Flats Raceway by the bleachers to the east. Happy Hunting

Completing this quest chain as well as Items of Power will award the Icefury, Ragefire, or Nether Force Wand.

After completing both that quest and this quest chain, the reward quest Mage's Wand becomes available from Tabetha.

You don't need to do the Demon Gem thingy line of quests first. You get both the first quest in that line as well as this one at the same time.
