Spirit of the Storm Lord
This quest is no longer available in game.
Progress through the Isle of Thunder until you unlock the final courtyard. Obtain a Tempered Lightning Lance by thrusting the lance into Storm Lord Nalak and surviving long enough to siphon his power.
Objectives
Description
Our next objective is to temper this weapon with the blood of a demigod, one imbued with the Thunder King's powers.
My agents tell me that the mogu named Shan Bu is creating just such a creature, intended to guard the Thunder King's citadel.
Once your faction has fought your way to the front gates, attack Storm Lord Nalak and thrust this lance into his side. The creature will do everything in his power to stop you - stay alive long enough to siphon out the power of the Storm Lord!
It appears that sometime after the end of Patch 5.2, but before Patch 5.4, Blizzard changed the quest so that the add despawns when Nalak does. This makes it nearly impossible to solo, so bring along a friend to play bait. Failing that, you can try to get Nalak to aggro the NPC guards at the instance portal to
Throne of Thunder. Watch your aggro table if you want to try this -- if it's too high then the guards will not be able to pull aggro off of you.
The quest does not care which faction has tagged Nalak, what percentage of health Nalak is at, and whether or not Nalak is dead. All that matters is 1) you do not die and 2) kite the Essence of Storms until it dies from its energy being siphoned. (Do not kill it with your attacks because you will not receive quest credit.)
This is from the legendary questline introduced in Patch 5.3. Our friend Wrathion, the last of his Black Dragonflight, is sending us on another adventure!
After testing us (reaching exalted with him and collecting 20 Secrets of the Empire and 40 Trillium Bars) and after we have unlocked the Lightning Forge and the final courtyard on the Isle of the Thunder King he sends us on the quest Spirit of the Storm Lord to thrust a Lightning Lance into Storm Lord Nalak and then killing it, causing Empower Lightning Lance to happen and giving us Tempered Lightning Lance to return to him.
Hope this helps! :)
