30x Blood of Sargeras seems a little bit too much since crafted items are very overpriced these days. It'll be bad to see if they nerf that Blood of Sargeras' required ammount later, after you complete it...

Comment by ShaunDreclin

THIRTY? This better be worth it Kalec.

rip my profits

Comment by Zigga

THIRTY? what is this, the legendary ring quest from draenor?

Comment by mightystrax

cool, just sold 30 bloods for 19 golds...
these quests are really insane! giving away expensive stuff for nothing

Comment by throwaway1990

This is necessary in order to progress to a questline for the Emerald Nightmare Raid.

Darkheart Thicket: Fallen Power

Comment by Phizzix

THIRTY? I'm going to have to go back to the Sunwell to take my anger out on you, Kalec

Comment by angeldefury

I still can't find any good reason...to give him my 30/34 sargeras that i currently have...cuz 19g is definitely not worth it, and ok so i progress to the quest chain to go to emerald nightmare but...why do I care about that? Tell me what reason justifies this ungodly amount of sargeras that i could use for a million other things other than forking it over to him. >.>

THIRTY? I've used almost 2 on useless crafting crap and had 65 in my bags at the time of getting this quest. Unbelievable.
(sarcasm)

If you don't want the Artifact skin then don't do the quests, it's arguably easier than actually doing the quests according to research.

30 Blood of Sargeras... 19 gold... no rep, no nothing.

WTF blizz?

Comment by Jeevo

This is a quest for the Artifact line apparently.
I tried completing this quest just for the sake of it, and it led me to Lucid Strength , and to The Emerald Nightmare: In Nightmares thereafter.

Comment by Rokondrius

I haven't completed it but I noticed I had 9 acquired and used them for LW but I still kept the credit for having 9/30. Perhaps you don't have to turn in 30 but merely acquire 30.

Comment by arednie

Not happy about this. A little reputation would have calmed my temper, but this sucks.

Comment by Eillesthis

Previous: Eye of Azshara: The Heart of Zin-Azshari

Parallel: A Vainglorious Past, Darkheart Thicket: Fallen Power

Next: Lucid Strength

Comment by Greyvax

I wish i remembered to save bloods on my alt x_x ......

Comment by alagalah

All I will say is that I handed this in thinking there would be some benefit, like Kirin Tor rep... no such luck.

I had just finished Warden Emmissary WQs, was flying back, handed this in, and was moaning on guild chat about how a JC can turn the Bloods into serious coin ...

... I handed in WQs and got Legendary chest piece in rewards chest...

I'm not sayin' ... I'm just sayin' ...

Introduction
This quest is part of a comment-size guide for "Balance of Power." questline. Quests are pretty much self-explanatory and all it takes is some time and good will to complete them. Completing this questline rewards Artifact Appearance (Appearance 3, Tint 1).

Part 1
Image of Kalec appears in your Order Hall and gives you the following quest:
The Power Within (Meet Archmage Kalec at Azurewing Repose in Azsuna.)
Reasons behind appearance of Archmage Kalec in your Class Order Hall are not yet completely understood but most people noticed him few days after they completed their Class Campaign.

Part 2
From there you take a next quest from Senegos:
The Heart of Zin-Azshari (Retrieve the Heart of Zin-Azshari and defeat the Wrath of Azshara in the Eye of Azshara on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 3
After completing the previous quests you receive a few new quests (exactly 3: two from Senegos and one from Archmage Kalec).
Senegos:
A Vainglorious Past (Obtain a Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon.)
- You can purchase Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon in Crumbled Palace in Azsuna for 150g (Requirement: Court of Farondis - Honored).

Fallen Power (Recover a Corrupted Essence from Oakheart and defeat the Shade of Xavius in Darkheart Thicket on Mythic difficulty.)

Archmage Kalec:
Tempering Darkness (Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.)
Should not be a problem since by the time you get that quest and if you did not spend any Blood of Sargeras you should have some stacked up simply by completing Dungeons and World Quests.

Part 4
Archmage Kalec:
Lucid Strength (Absorb the power from the Corrupted Essence using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 5
Senegos:
The Wisdom of Patience (Await the opening of The Emerald Nightmare, then report back to Senegos in Azsuna.)

Part 6
Archmage Kalec:
In Nightmares (Obtain a Deathglare Iris and the Horn of the Nightmare Lord from The Emerald Nightmare.) NOTE: NOT doable with LFR. It has to be Normal difficulty or higher. In order to complete this quest you need to kill 2 bosses: Il'gynoth and Xavius and loot mentioned quest items.

Senegos:
Essence of Power (Collect 30 Corrupted Essence from The Emerald Nightmare.) This quest gave me a weird WoD and Khadgar flashback. NOT doable with LFR. Only Normal or higher difficulty. Essences ~~do not~~ have a 100% drop rate and bosses can drop 1-2 3 Corrupted Essences at the time.

Part 7
Senegos:
Essential Consumption (Absorb the combined power of the Corrupted Essences using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 8
Archmage Kalec:
Repaid Debt (Meet Archmage Kalec in the Shal'Aran in Suramar.)

Part 9
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Lost Knowledge (Obtain the Scroll of Elun'dris from First Arcanist Thalyssra.)
- Costs 120g. Requirement: The Nightfallen - Revered).

Part 10
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Borrowing Without Asking (Recover a Containment Crystal from the Vault of the Wardens on Mythic difficulty.)

Syrana Starweaver:
Rite of the Captain (Take Advisor Vandros' Eon Winder from The Arcway on Mythic difficulty.)

Lothrius Mooncaller:
Literary Perfection (Find Lothrius' first edition copy of "Wards, Sigils, and the Nightborne Way" in the Court of Stars on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 11
Syrana Starweaver:
Twisted Power (Use a Greater Portal Stone to summon Vizuul the Twisted at the Altar of End Times in Faronaar and collect his runebindings.)

Part 12
Syrana Starweaver:
A True Test (Absorb the power from the Twisted Runebindings using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 13
Archmage Kalec:
Seeking the Valkyra (Seek out Ashildir at the Vault of Eyir in Stormheim.)

Part 14
Ashildir:
The Mark (Prove your worth to the Valarjar, then receive the Mark of the Valkyra from Eyir.)

Part 15
Ashildir:
Retrieving the Svalnguard (Retrieve the Svalnguard and defeat Helya in the Maw of Souls on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 16
Ashildir:
A Feast Fit for Odyn (Acquire flank meat from Thunderhoof in Stormheim, Spinesever's spine in Highmountain, and a steak from Leytusk in Azsuna.)

Presentation is Key (Retrieve 4 Adamantium Casing Scraps and defeat Dargrul the Underking in Neltharion's Lair on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 17
Ashildir:
Odyn's Blessing (Obtain Odyn's blessing in the Halls of Valor on ~~Heroic or~~ Mythic difficulty.)
- Use Grand Feast of Valhallas when you enter the dungeon - at the start. You can enter the dungeon alone, put the feast down, get out and then get a group to defeat Odyn and get his blessing. After you defeat him wait for him to finish his speech (RP) and then you can collect his blessing on the loot chest.

Part 18
Archmage Kalec:
Planning the Assault (Await the opening of the Nighthold, then meet Archmage Kalec in Shal'Aran.)

Part 19
Archmage Kalec:
Into the Nighthold (Collect 20 Nightshards from the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)
- Try and complete this quest without killing Gul'dan because if you kill him before acquiring The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20 he won't drop quest item for you this week and you'll need to wait for a next reset to complete The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20.

Thalrenus Rivertree:
The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur (Collect the core of Trilliax and Grand Magistrix Elisande's Millennia Tome in the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 20
Archmage Kalec:
The Nighthold: Darkness Calls (Bring one Gul'dan's eyes to Archmage Kalec on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 21
Archmage Kalec:
Balance of Power (Absorb the combined power of the Nightshards and the Eye of Gul'dan using the Heart of Zin-Azshari at the Lunar Crucible.)

Congratulations on completing this questline and acquiring new Artifact Appearance. Enjoy!
Foxies, out.

Comment by Arexx

Don't have enough blood? Have another toon that has more? Go to the other toon, buy for bloods. They are bind on account. Mail them all to the toon that needs the bloods. Use those caches to get more order resources then use those resources at your order hall to get more bloods. You can also just buy the bloods with resources if you already have enough. They are 5000 resources for 5 bloods, so if you have zero bloods, you will need 30K Resources to buy all the bloods you need for this. You can probably find a couple world quests that can give you a few to start.

Weird thing wit this quest. Had 30 and it is marked as complete. I then used them for armor. Still marked complete, but unable to turn in.

Comment by onelotus

For some reason after picking up the quest and coming here to see comments about it, the map shows where to pick up and turn in the quest and indicates wehre to farm for bloods...yet i went there and in 15 got none. I assumed because its on the map for this quest...this mean it was best place to farm only during this quest completion... yet people in LFG chat on my realm say only place to get them is from herbs and mining.

Comment by Algurmorbid

The fact you still have to do this post-Legion should be something you remember beforehand. I mistakenly exchanged all my blood's at the switchover from Legion to BFA and now that I'm sorting out the balance of power questline on my alts means I just kicked myself in the butt.

Tempering Darkness

Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.

	Blood of Sargeras (30)

Description

I do not doubt Senegos' plan, but I do have some concerns about the Heart's volatility, especially when combined with nightmare energy.

Despite its name, Blood of Sargeras is often used as a tempering agent by master craftsmen. I believe it would work for our ritual as well.

You should keep an eye out for it during your travels - we'll need a substantial amount to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
