Legends of Maraudon and the Scepter

Noxxion drops the Celebrian Rod and Lord Vyletongue drops the Celebrian Diamond, so you need both wings. Kill Celebras the Cursed at Poison Falls, then talk to Celebras the Redeemed to finish Legends of Maraudon. He then starts The Scepter of Celebras. Stay through the ritual and speak to him again for the Scepter of Celebras.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: WOWF.IO: Maraudon guide, Before you go and stop 11; Kami Labs: Maraudon, Legends of Maraudon; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Use the Scepter in the small room with four braziers on the middle path of the outer cave. It takes you straight to Earth Song Falls.

Vyletongue Corruption

Your quest giver hands you the Coated Cerulean Vial. Fill it at the orange-water pool, reached by taking the right-hand path where the trail splits outside the orange entrance. WOWF.IO warns that blue water does not work. Use the Filled Cerulean Vial on Vylestem Vines around Foulspore Cavern, kill the Noxxious Scion that comes out, and repeat eight times.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: WOWF.IO: Maraudon guide, Before you go and stop 2; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Shadowshard Fragments

The fragments come from Shadowshard Rumblers and Smashers just outside the dungeon, so you can finish this quest before you enter either wing.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: WOWF.IO: Maraudon guide, Before you go; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Seed of Life

Zaetar's Spirit appears when Princess Theradras dies and gives you the Seed of Life. Take it to Keeper Remulos in Moonglade, at 36.2, 41.8.

Rewards and Experience

ForeverChanges lists the experience below and marks it as Classic's. Kami Labs says dungeon quests give a "Big XP bonus" in Forever, especially on your first run, and Blizzard's October 1 notes say they "now reward 50% less extra experience beyond normal quest values."
