Finding a guide

Choose a topic and search by name, item, class, or place. Open a result for its full guide.

Quest pages combine attributed Forever client observations, exact Forever objectives and dated reward snapshots. Each source keeps its build and observation date; beta records and older Korean-region values can differ from the live game. Guaranteed items and choose-one rewards are separate. Unreported values are not zero, and a source list does not establish a starting location.

Use the topic menu to explore guides and interactive tools. Credits are available in the footer.

Quest description

This fossil bears a striking resemblance to one I once saw in Ironforge. An archaeologist by the name of Flagongut brought it to our annual Explorers' League conference. He believed the fossil had a power which could be unlocked somehow.

Last I heard Flagongut had holed up in the Deepwater Tavern in Menethil Harbor, awaiting escort to the Whelgar Excavation Site. Seek him out and show him Remtravel's fossil. Perhaps he can reveal the secrets of the past.

The ship to Menethil departs from Auberdine.

Objectives

Take the mysterious fossil to Archaeologist Flagongut in Menethil Harbor.
