There is a Teleport: Falanaar in the next room. Now You're Thinking With Portals<= more info

This quest has so many connections to the storylines and achievements, that i will probably just describe here where you can look for more info:

Tomtom Macro code for the 9 portal locations in Suramar needed for Now You're Thinking With Portals:

/way Suramar 36.2 47.1 Teleport Ruins of Elune'eth
/way Suramar 21.5 29.9 Teleport Falanaar (22.9 35.8 - Entrance)
/way Suramar 47.5 82.0 Teleport The Waning Crescent
/way Suramar 64.0 60.4 Teleport Twilight Vineyards (Need Honored)
/way Suramar 39.1 76.3 Teleport Felsoul Hold (35.8 82.1 - Entrance)
/way Suramar 43.6 79.1 Teleport Lunastre Estate
/way Suramar 30.8 10.9 Teleport Moon Guard (27.8 22.3 - Entrance)
/way Suramar 43.4 60.7 Teleport Sanctum of Order (42.6 617 - Entrance)
/way Suramar 42.2 35.4 Teleport Tel'anor
/cway

Protip: I use Macro Toolkit to avoid having to split macros into smaller parts. There are other addons (ie Paste ) that also allow this.

I used this macro long after I discovered them all on Beta because Suramar's Daily & World quests kept me guessing which portal was closest.

<The seed sits perfectly atop the stand and sinks in with a satisfying click.> /big smile

Comment by Hetsig
I got confused since i had 1900/2000 max mana and i couldn't figure out which one i had missed. I ran a script to see if i had missed a quest
/script for q,i in pairs({=42842,=43988,=43989,=43986,=43987})do print(q,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(i))end
and it turned out it was Volatile Leyline Crystal which to my surprise doesn't get into your inventory but it's on the ground.

I loved the tips from others about the macros to figure out which parts of the storyline you have finished.
I personally use SDM Super Duper Macro for writing verbose macros because im a chatty guy

Here is the one i wrote for The Light Below
---snip---
/run print(' ')
/run print('\124cffffff00The Light Below Chain\124r')
/run print('\124cff808080--------------------------------------------------------------------\124r')
/run for k, v in pairs({ArcaneCommunion = 40324}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({ScenesFromAMemory = 40325}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({CloakedInMoonShade = 42224}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({BreakingTheSeal = 42225}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({MoonshadeHoldout = 42226}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({IntoTheCrevasse = 42227}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

/run for k, v in pairs({TheHiddenCity = 42228}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

During this quest you will activate a portal in Temple of Fal'ador, that helps you to travel faster and also a part of Now You're Thinking With Portals achievement.

Comment by Mondoblasto
There are quotes after the cut scene, part of which is:

Valewalker Farodin says: To care for the arcan'dor is a great burden - one which we now share.

There is a pause, then:

Valewalker Farodin says: Hmph. Arrogant. In time, you will see.

Obviously there is a sentence here that did not trigger, which Farodin then responds to. Without having gone further than this in the quests and narrowing it down to either Thalyssra or Valtrois, the closest logical match in the quotes that Wowhead has logged is:

First Arcanist Thalyssra says: We are masters of the arcane, night elf. I think we can handle a tree.

Can anyone help confirm this? Did it (or not) trigger for you?

Comment by daphney
Any idea why she isn't offering this quest? Do i need The Masks We Wear questline? Are there prereqs?

Comment by sitecow09
"We are masters of the arcane, night elf. I think we can handle a tree."
Her dry delivery of that line got a good laugh out of me.

Comment by valencium
how do I accept the quest? where do I go I ve looked every where! plz help!

Comment by Trylion
I got the seed and used my hearthstone and it didn't work for some reason. So if anyone has this trouble this is what you need to do.

***If you got the "Valewalker's Burden" quest and get back to Shal'Aran and can't turn in, you DO NOT have to go back into the Falanaar Tunnels to complete. Just go back to the Shattered Locus, where the Temple of Fal'ador is. When you are close the seed will appear over your head, but you have to activate the beacon inside to complete. You will automatically be teleported once you do so.

Sorry for the long winded explanation, but I had to go back in the tunnels a third time and couldn't find where to get the quest or if it was a bug, until I retraced my steps from following when the Queen stole the seed and runs through the tunnels back to the Shattered Locus / Temple of Fal'ador. That is the area where the Army of Withered starts off in case you were wondering.

Once you complete this questline, you will be able to begin Withered Army training.

(see screenshot for exact location) if there is no screenshot see the one posted as it shows where this quest needs to be completed.

Comment by woofpuppy
Go back up the stairs to 40.79 14.05 to plant the seed.

Comment by Phlaps
If you are trying to start this quest again after coming back from later content and can't seem to find it - see your "Nightfallen But Not Forgotten" achievement. You need this before the quest line becomes available to you. I just spent 3 hours trying to figure this out. Kill me.
