Scouring the Desert

Find and deliver Silithyst to the Silithyst Extractor then speak with General Kirika at the Horde encampment near Hive'Regal.

Description

For some time now, we have been tapping the crystal resources of the Silithus desert. The only dangers we faced were from the creatures that made this place their home and the oppressive sand and dust and heat.

But now the Alliance seems to have caught on to what we have found here. It is now a race between us to capture the natural resources, and keep them from the other.

I need every set of hands that is available. I hope I have yours.

This quest is a PvP quest for the world event here. Basically, you hunt around the area and look for little geysers marked "Silithyst Geyser".

Using one of these geysers WILL flag you, and provide a "buff" that slows your movement speed. You then bring it to the machine in the horde encampment where it gets added to your faction's resource pool. You can't mount, or the silithyst you collected becomes a little mound of powder on the ground where you mounted. You'll have to go back and pick it up. For mages, Blink will work without dropping the silithyst powder. I'm unsure on the other methods of quick movement, like sprint, and travel form. If there's a high alliance presence, bring some escort with you.

Once you get the silithyst to the camp, you get a 30 minute buff that increases all your melee, ranged, and spell damage by 5%. I don't know exactly what you get if you get to 200, but I believe it's a buff that effects everyone in the area.

To get to the camp, just go to the little horde icon on the map. The camp's location is indicated by this gigantic red pillar sticking up from the extractor machine you put the silithyst into.

I have confirmed now that Travel form is affected by the debuff, and you don't go faster. It doesn't drop on shapeshifting either.

As of patch 2.0.1, turning in Silithyst gives you a buff for +5% to all damage dealt. It lasts for 30 minutes.

You walk into the machine that puts out the massive light and it extracts the silithyst, then talk to the quest giver and it will be finished. Also confirmed the 9550xp and 18 Honor.

Look for a small geyser thing on the grounds of silithus near hive zora and abroad. Right click to collect. They look like little glowing piles of dirt, and periodically toss a spout into the air.
Picking one up flags you pvp, so be warned.
Also, mounting once you have the glow will drop the item, and you're still flagged.
Return to camp near Zora and step into the gnomish machine looking thing (similar to the one outside IF to change into an elf at Christmas) to turn it in.
Speak with Marshall Bluewall to complete.
Don't forget, you are flagged.
As far as I know, the quest is not repeatable, but collecting the items and returning them in the same fashion will result in continued building of rep and honor.

Cheers

Travel Form will not affect the dropping of item like you do with mounting, so you can use your ghost wolf/travel form at will..

Also, all gnomes should apply to become footballs for the NFL....
