1631 Starting Ques

Lu Li's distribution method was quite simple. Regardless of whether it was guild points being spent or DKP, he had developed a system for calculating the value of things. Anyone who was a part of the guild could participate in it.

Of course, due to the limited amount of Reputation up for grabs, they still had to follow the ranking requirement.

In order for ordinary guild members to participate in this Reputation reward, Lu Li had to either ask for more points or wait for the players to redeem fewer rewards with their points.

Later on, someone proposed an even better solution.

Why couldn't he just squeeze more people into the club and get those players to hand over the materials in the club's name? Although they couldn't complete the quest that way, they could still receive the Reputation because they had handed in the materials. It was then that Lu Li realized what he had been neglecting.

As a result, everyone could now begin the process of generating Reputation from this method.

However, the officials weren't idiots. Everyone soon found that there was a cap on the Reputation rewarded. After the cap had been reached, no further Reputation could be gained.

The Alliance and Horde players were both sending envoys to the other's camps to see which who had been receiving the greatest rewards.

Ruling Sword were the fastest, and had just reached the maximum Reputation to be earned across the guild. The next was Glory Capital, who were just over halfway in claiming their Reputation.

In addition to the large amount of materials donated by the Alliance and the Horde, there was also a formal series of quests.

Undoubtedly, this quest line was the most epic one in Dawn's story. Every trial a player needed to overcome was extremely difficult. It wasn't just 'kill 10 monsters in x'– one had to properly devote themselves to the task to complete it.

The quest began with the Sergeant near the Silithus flight point. His name was Baristolth and he was a subordinate of the Cenarion Circle.

"You're finally here!" exclaimed the Night Elf. "Look behind you, young people. The movements in the worm nest are causing the land beneath our feet to tremble. It seems like the worms are planning to start the war. It is time for us to fulfil the thousand-year-old prophecy."

"Yes sir," Lu Li affirmed.

"Go to the shelter of the bronze dragon, and look for the son of Nozdormu, Anachronos. He will tell you what to do," Baristolth said.

"Ahem, O esteemed one, I… have met Anachronos before and there is some misunderstanding between us," Lu Li said sheepishly. "He didn't want to hurt us, but he just vanished. The next time we saw him, he didn't seem very friendly."

Within Tanaris, there was a bronze dragon that lived in the Caverns of Time.

Once the dragon hit 20% HP, it would cry out, "Mortal, this is not the right time!" before vanishing. That dragon was the one they had to look for – Nozdormu's son, Anachronos.

Perhaps it was because it had been attacked by players before, but it was hostile towards all players.

Many players who did this quest didn't understand that situation, and they would go to Tanaris in an attempt to complete it. Some were killed when Anachronos aggro'ed onto

them, and others would return after finding out about the situation.

In short, this quest couldn't actually be continued and the player had to come crying back to the NPC.

As someone who had experienced rebirth, Lu Li certainly didn't want to waste the time travelling all the way there and back. He immediately just pointed out that the dragon was hostile towards them, and hoped that the NPC would give him a solution.

"You guys are too rash; I cannot believe it!" Baristolth cried out before impatiently saying, "Dragons respect the strong. You must demonstrate your strength to garner a good opinion among them."

"I will listen to your instructions," Lu Li nodded.

"Blackwing's Nest has an unusually fierce beast called Broodlord Lashlayer who guards the battle hall and prevents outsiders from entering the Nefarian's sanctuary. Kill that evil guy, then you can start on this journey."

"Please rest assured, I will complete this quest as soon as possible," Lu Li said.

This quest seemed difficult, but it wasn't a big deal for the more powerful organisations. The Instance Dungeon could be completed at an ordinary difficulty for this section of the quest. If they couldn't even defeat Blackwing's Nest's third Boss at ordinary difficulty, then they might as well just continue earning their Reputation and forget about completing this quest.

"Which team is currently fighting in Blackwing's Nest? Report your progress to me," Lu Li requested on the guild channel.

Several Instance Dungeon commanders quickly responded to him. One of them reported that they had just run into the Broodlord Lashlayer and were about to fight him.

Lu Li asked them to create a position, and he directly joined the team.

Although it was Blackwing's Nest on Nightmare Difficulty, the strength of this team was high – it was made up of all Elite members. With Lu Li's guidance, they were able to defeat the Boss in one attempt.

Broodlord Lashlayer dropped the quest item, and Lu Li took it before leaving the team.

"Wow, I haven't seen such a capable young man in a long time," Baristolth commended. "But this is not enough – I also need you to kill the worms in the Hive'Ashi, Hive'Zora and Hive'Regal. Collect Silithid Carapace Fragments from their bodies, and come back to me when you have 200 of them."

"No problem. You can count on me," Lu Li responded resolutely.

There was no other option anyway. These quests had to be completed, and even Hachi Chan would have to tick off these menial tasks.

200 items didn't seem like a lot. As long as they assembled an army from Ruling Sword, they would be able to collect them quickly.

But in fact, this was not the case. Only the team leader and the group that spoke to the NPC was able to complete this quest. Anyone else that tried to fight the worms wouldn't be able to find the Silithid Carapace Fragment.

Baristholth gave Lu Li a badge –'Nozdormu's Messenger'– which Lu Li put in his backpack. This allowed him to begin the quest.

This also meant that Lu Li didn't need Hachi Chan to join the quest.

Killing the variety of insects in Silithus would result in different numbers of Silithid Carapace Fragment drops. The elite bugs dropped 1-4 pieces while the non-elite ones would drop 1. Lu Li had such high attacking power that he completed this quest within 10 minutes.

The Shifting Sands were now even more satisfied with Lu Li.

However, the collection of these Silithid Carapace Fragments was not the end of the quest.

The two hundred different Silithid Carapace Fragments were exchanged for 'Nozdormu's Son'. This increased Lu Li's Reputation, but there was still a long way to go from Hostile to Neutral. In addition, the Shifting Sands also gave Lu Li 'Nozdormu's Herald', which allowed him to act as Nozdormu's agent and gain more carapace fragments.

Lu Li then gave this item to Lonesome Flower.
