Is That Xal'atath Again? The Shadowy Figure in Season of Discovery Phase 2
Is Xal'atath back in Season of Discovery Phase 2? The Gnomeregan Crafted Items are unlocked by going through a lengthy quest chain, which involves crossing paths once again with the Shadowy Figure, the mysterious entity many believe to be Xal'atath herself.
Familiar Darkness
The Shadowy Figure first appeared during Phase One of Season of Discovery as part of the questline to gain epic Void-Touched Armaments. Like Xal'atath, the figure seems to be some sort of Void entity that has chosen to take the form of a female elf, and the similarities don't stop there. Xal'atath is known for offering significant Void-related power — the cost of which isn't always apparent.
At one point in the Gnomeregan Crafted Item questline, players are sent to gather — among other things — a Charged Voidcore. Though we do find a Voidcore, the one we discover is completely inert. «Luckily» for us, the Shadowy Figure appears, offering to charge the Voidcore for no other reason than the satisfaction of altruism — at least, that's what she claims. However, she does make clear that she hopes one day we might wish to share that feeling of altruism… a day when we're in a position to help her…
You need something and I just so happen to have exactly what you are looking for.
You again. What do you want?
I want to help you, of course. That voidcore you carry… it's well and truly spent.
But… I could help you charge it.
<The Shadowy Figure raises its hand and a tiny mote of energy floats a few inches above its palm>
And what might this assistance cost me?
Nothing of course! The benefits of altruism are not lost on me, and I very much enjoy cultivating mutually beneficial relationships. Who knows… there may come a time when you are in a position to help me and may find yourself feeling similarly altruistic.
<Remain silent and hold out your hand>
<The tiny floating speck of energy floats over into your waiting palm.>
There's a smart <class>. Use it Read more on wowhead.com
