Fly to Akeeta's Hovel and head southeast along the road. The quest will update to a smaller specific location shortly after entering the area of interest.

Comment by Aaahead

Info on the full "The Crystal Reborn" quest chain, one of the six quest chain criteria for the Master Relic Hunter (Alliance)/ Master Relic Hunter (Horde) achievement needed to get the Harrison Jones follower with Extreme Scavenger and unique Mentor traits. This chain takes place primarily in northeast Spires of Arak, the southernmost Draenor zone.

Getting Starter Quests: The first quest is given by Harrison Jones, who turns up just inside your garrison's Town Hall on random days. He's in some garrisons every day, all giving the same chain's starter quest for that day; use Group Finder's Premade Groups/Custom category to search for "Harrison" to see if anyone is inviting people to their garrison to get the quest.

Bug Notes:

If you collected an item that should complete a quest, but the quest isn't shown as completed, log off and back on (just reloading won't work), click the quest in your quest log, and see if you can click "complete quest".
Leave at least one spot free in your quest log (i.e. 24 of 25), or a quest may become uncompletable going from one quest to the next.
You can not do these quests in a raid group; doing some steps in a raid group can make a quest uncompletable.
If a quest becomes uncompletable, you can return to your garrison, delete the quest, and re-accept the quest on that step of the quest chain from the book of Relic Hunting Notes on the ground next to Harrison Jones. All but the initial quest are also shareable from party members, if you are on the same step of the quest chain.

1. Treasure Contract: The Artificer: in Spires of Arak. Fly to Akeeta's Hovel flightpoint on the border of Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak, and follow the path southeast. After a short distance, near some rocks before a fork in the road, a message should be displayed saying you've completed the one of the two quest criteria, "Find the missing Artificer", and a yellow dot will appear on the minimap showing Artificer Maatun's corpse and Artificer Maatun's Journal on the ground at . Click the journal, then click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

Bag Space Tip: After you get credit for completing this quest, you can safely delete Artificer Maatun's Journal from your bags. It's just for interesting reading. Each Harrison Jones quest chain leaves a similar soulbound book in your inventory (click for list).

2. Dream of Argus: The First Fragment: in Spires of Arak. Continue along the path, taking a left at the fork in the road into a cave (entrance at ). Kill Lor Stonefist, loot Rough Crystal Shard, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

3. Dream of Argus: The Second Fragment: . Head back out of the cave to the fork in the road, and take the other path, continuing south/southeast along the path, through an archway, past some mobs and big pink crystals, to the first hut on the right at . There can be quite a few mobs from the archway until you reach the hut. Kill Vok Blacktongue, loot Cracked Crystal Shard, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

4. Dream of Argus: The Final Fragment: . Head northeast out of the hut across a clearing to a path leading up a hill (it starts at ). Turn right at the first branch a short ways up the hill ( - if you pass a cave you went too far), and when you pass through a stone archway and see a void portal on your right, take a hard right up that hill (off the path) to a peak/cliff at . There can be quite a few mobs until you reach the archway. If there are just some talbuks at the peak, wait a moment until Jagganath (195k health) and Koros Soulsplinter (489k health) respawn. Kill them, loot Smooth Crystal Shard from Koros, and click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

5. Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn: in a cave in Shadowmoon Valley. Make your down the hill (northwest, north, then northeast) to around in Spires of Arak, across the zone border into Shadowmoon Valley. Continue to a cave entrance at in Shadowmoon Valley, and go in the cave; if the "Find the reconstruction device" quest criterion isn't not complete, walk back out and back in. Once inside, click the altar at to place the crystal shards, then click the Inner Ring, Middle Ring, and Outer Ring until the three types of purple crystals on the rings line up with the matching purple crystals on the altar. When they're lined up just right, you can click the crystal in the center of the altar to loot a Dream of Argus. NOTE: Each of the three purple crystals is a differently-shaped rune, and they must be lined up together - if you're zoomed out, this may not be as obvious, so zoom in until you see the shapes clearly. If you line up all three of the round-shaped crystals on the rings with the round-shaped symbol on the outermost stone, then the other two shapes of crystals will also be lined up.

Double-check that the quest is ready for turn-in, and hearth back to your garrison to turn it in to Bodrick Grey (Alliance) or Rokhan (Horde).

Problems:

If you can't click the center crystal to start turning the rings, check to make sure the first part of the quest, "Find the reconstruction device", is marked as completed; if not, walk out and back in to the cave until it's completed.
If you can't click the center crystal even after the rings are properly aligned, or if it's just too crowded to align things with all the people clicking, you might have success realm-hopping (joining parties, not raids, with friends on other realms) to get different instances of the altar. Waiting longer is futile if it's bugged.
If you aren't getting credit for clicking the center crystal, log off and back on.

Comment by lxfjohnson

A note for "Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn", if you fly into the cave like I did, the quest objective "Find the reconstruction device" did register. You can get it simply walk out the cave and back in.

After the objective is complete, you can then click on the altar in the middle (the rings should light up in purple), and move the three rings to align with each other. *These rings have three different symbols, make sure each symbol is matched not just the purple color.

Comment by Jaxzia

The bare bones of the chain quest.

1) Fly to Akeeta's Hovel in Shadowmoon Valley
2) Walk down the path 67.5 21.8
3) The cave is diagonal from the body @ 69.2 22.4
4) The hut for Vok Blacktounge is @ 73.0 32.0
5) Koros Soulsplinter is at 75.1 26.1 up the mountain
6) I used a glider to fly down to the cave 32.7 45.3
7) Line all three set of runes up.
8) Collect the run and then turn it in.

Hope this helps!

Comment by 1061544

After lining up the runes in the last quest, the middle thing bugged out and was not lootable. Anyone else have this issue? (Yes, I checked the runes like 20 times)

Comment by Sindail

I couldn't loot the Dream of Argus at first. Lotta people there clicking and messing things up. (good job blizzard not making this part phased /boggle).

I tried reloading the UI, I tried disabling all addons and reloading (using Adon Control Panel - Make sure to save your set if you do this). That on it's own did not work.

I then logged out completely and went back into the game (with addons still disabled) It worked! I wasn't able to tun the runes anymore so I freaked out at first, but I was instantly able to loot the piece in the center.

Hope this helps some of you.

Comment by Woenaa

Why NOONE ever take a screenshot of the god damn map and their location of the quest item ?

Comment by Grogg

If you can't complete the first quest, make sure you left from your own garrison and that you are not in a raid, otherwise it might not complete.

Comment by Shekills

Last night I did the first part, today I logged on to go to go into the cave to kill Lor Stonefist and the quest is no longer in my log and I cannot see him to kill him. I do have the journal from the first step in my bag? Not sure what to do next?

Comment by Wowzir

@Aaahead's directions are very exact, and as well written as any I have seen on Wowhead!

Once you have killed Vok Blacktongue, and finished The Second Fragment, you might like to use my macro below to navigate to the Final Fragment and on to the Cave Entrance for The Crystal Reborn.

If using TomTom and you wait untill after killing Vok to use the macro, the waypoints should function properly to complete the route. I added Coordinates for the Hard Right Turn which made the backtracking portion before the peak/cliff flow correctly.

One change I look forward to making is trying a glider for the final leg to the Cave Entrance... "Priceless!"

/way 74.4, 30.2 START
/way 73.9, 28.9 turn RIGHT
/way 72.1 24.6 HARD right
/way 75.0, 26.1 PEAK/cliff
/way Shadowmoon Valley:Draenor 32.7, 45.3 cave ENTR

NOTE: if you are not GLIDING, but travelling on foot or by ground mount, be aware that there is a moderately high dropoff just before you reach the "cave ENTR". Use Slow Fall, Azure Water Strider, etc. to avoid falling damage.

1. Treasure Contract: The Artificer
• Fly to Akeeta's Hovel (65.6, 17.5) at the border between Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak (if you don't have this, you will need to fly to Crow's Crook in Spires of Arak and travel northeast).
• Once at Akeeta's Hovel, take the path to the left, leading southeast to coordinates 67.4, 21.8.
• Pick up the Artificer's Journal.

2. Dream of Argus: The First Fragment
• Travel into the cave on your left, the entrance is located at coordinates 69.5, 22.3
• Kill Lor Stonefist.
• Loot the Rough Crystal Shard.

3. Dream of Argus: The Second Fragment
• Exit the cave and take the path on the left (southeast).
• Enter the hut at coordinates 73, 32.
• Kill Vok Blacktongue (avoid the black swirls on the ground).
• Loot the Cracked Crystal Shard.

4. Dream of Argus: The Final Fragment
• Exit the hut and take the path up the hill (74.2, 30.1).
• Take the right at the fork in the road, and continue up hill.
• Once at the top of the hill, past the "Stonehenge" monument (72.3, 25.6), take a right.
• Continue to coordinates 75.4, 25.3.
• Kill Koros Soulsplinter.
• Loot the Smooth Crystal Shard.

5. Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn
• Travel down the hill to coordinates 32.2, 45.9, and jump down (CAREFUL ON USE OF SLOW FALL / LEVITATE... otherwise you may end up going off the edge and have to fly back to Akeeta's Hovel and ride to the cave again)
• Enter the cave, Shadowmoon Mine
• Click the Place Crystal
• Three wheels, with three different symbols will appear, along with 3 stones on the outside edge of the circle.
• Line up the three symbols on the wheels, by clicking them, with the symbols on the stones.
• Lightning will appear out of the outside edge stones and hit the center stone (signaling that you have done the wheels correctly). I've found that the best strategy for the wheels is to pick one of the symbols and line up the wheel's symbols to the corresponding stone symbol.
• Loot the Dream of Argus and turn in the quest at your garrison (be careful not to click the wheels again when looting the Dream of Argus, otherwise you'll have to do the wheels again).

make sure to pickup the Missive: Pillars of Faith for double the fun.

Comment by MsPhelix

I did this quest chain, no real problems. Because I'm a pack rat, I kept the Journal in my Bank. When I started the quest chain again, I couldn't read the Journal - I clicked on it and nothing happened. I went to the Bank in Stormshield, put the Journal in my bags, and immediately got credit for this quest and did the chain. Moral: either don't keep the Journal or get it from the Bank when you repeat this quest chain.

Nothing special at all, really, except the dial at the end.

Comment by fraggerr

The Harrison quests take place in a location where the Apexis dailies can also take place. If you want to maximize your time in a location, be sure to pick up the associated Missive from your Garrison Quartermaster ( Sergeant Crowler or Sergeant Grimjaw ).

You can have both the missive and the daily from the war planning table.

Achievement Name : Harrison Quest Name = Scouting Missive to purchase

The Crystal Reborn : Treasure Contract: The Artificer = Scouting Missive: Pillars of Fate

The Spirit Forge : Treasure Contract: Gutrek's Cleaver = Scouting Missive: Broken Precipice

The Blessing of Beasts : Treasure Contract: The Thunderlord Sage = Scouting Missive: Magnarok

Breaching the Barrier : Treasure Contract: Explosive Discoveries = Scouting Missive: Darktide Roost ( first part )

Breaching the Barrier : Treasure Contract: Explosive Discoveries = Scouting Missive: Socrethar's Rise ( second part )

The Apexis Device : Treasure Contract: Amulet of Rukhmar = Scouting Missive: Skettis

Taking from the Taker : Treasure Contract: The Infected Orc = Scouting Missive: Everbloom Wilds

If you already have Harrison Jones as a follower, this quest will be given by Surveyor Daltry.

Comment by 194005

Ran around for half an hour trying to find the quest location.
Abandoned quest.

Comment by xpuntar

If you somehow get killed in that area you will get up at Echidnean Shelf graveyard from where you just cannot get back to your body in any fast way possible.

It is just mind boggling that you would need quite a lot of time to get yo your body either through Spires of Arrak of through Shadowmoon Valley. ~~25+ minutes is the best bet to get to you body~~, Unless there is a shortcut down there, but as everything is so grey you can barley see anything to actually look like a path.

Urgh, for placing those graveyards at complete different location (at very different altitude separated by obstructed and inaccessible terrain) from where there is no direct path to your body, just because it is the nearest by direct line. If you could at least fly in spirit form to certain degree / altitude that would be ok, but not this garbage.

I have died in a zone of a quest Dream of Argus - The Second Fragment. So do not die here as your corpse run will be a "headache" and quite time consuming.

Actually I made it but it is still annoying that instead of going directly, player is required to take a route through Spires of Arrak, just near the mountains. It's around 3 minutes of a "corpse run".

Ok that 150g was really worth my time and effort. Sigh Lot of work for not much reward.

Comment by Salus

This quest is offered by Surveyor Daltry if you have completed Don't Call Me Junior and earned Harrison Jones as a follower.

Comment by stang99x

Instead of wading through all the information posted, all I needed was a clue that you had to click the journal. The two wolves will need to be killed first as they will aggro. It did NOT auto update for me without clicking the journal

Comment by NessieMo

Here are accurate TomTom / Paste coordinates for Treasure Contract: The Artificer which gives the Dream of Argus: The Crystal Reborn credit for the achievement Master Relic Hunter

/way Shadowmoon Valley:Draenor 32.7, 45.3 #5 Shadowmoon Mine Entrance Click rings to align symbols for Dream of Argus

Comment by remotettl

the signs (oh yea) , 3 different, needs to line up. same sign same position so all 3 circles has same signs lined up. then quest is done. without that, you can turn circles around around around around... and get bored.

Comment by RealUnimportant

Thanks to everyone who's posting accurate information; I spent way too long trying to work out how to get into/through Anguish Fortress (I'd level-boosted this char) to reach the point being shown on my map in Shadowmoon Valley... Why does the game do that when the first point of call isn't even in that zone?

Comment by Averdynne

OK - I'm SLOW on the uptake - or observation. I read the top 5 comments and never saw THIS: When you're trying to align the symbols - hover over the TOP, Middle, or bottom of the center crystal to CHOOSE which of the rings you want to rotate. This first time I did this I just got it by clicking randomly for 20 minutes - the second time, I noticed that if I hovered over a different portion of the center crystal it highlighted a different ring. Hope this helps someone else who was getting irritated by another "puzzle" quest.

Comment by Milov01

You are looking for a book on the ground, next to the corpse of Artificer Maatun. Just off the road in Spires of Arak, heading towards Akeeta's Hovel.

Links

Treasure Contract: The Artificer

Search near the entrance of the Pillars of Fate for evidence of Artificer Maatun's crystal.

	Find the missing Artificer (1)
	Read the Artificer's Journal (1)

Description

I have heard of a draenei artificer by the name of Maatun that was seeking to restore an old draenei crystal, possibly of naaru origin. He called the crystal the Dream of Argus. The draenei went missing after seeking out help from the Shadowmoon orcs back before they allied themselves with the Iron Horde. One of your scouts recently spotted a draenei matching the description of Maatun near the entrance of the Pillars of Fate. Go there and see what you can dig up.
