World of Warcraft: Forever Mage Class Quests Guide

As you level your character you will get access to class-specific quests from the various Mage trainer NPCs around Azeroth. Often, these class quests unlock various abilities, class features, or give class-specific gear.

For Mages, there are no abilities locked behind class-quests. This means you can choose whether to do them or not purely based on their item and experience rewards, and how difficult they are to complete.

The highlights are a long level-40 difficulty quest chain that unlocks at level 30, and gives a powerful elemental wands with additional spell damage of your choice, like the Icefury Wand. At level 50 after a dungeon quest, you get the option of unique rewards that works for each spec, such as Fire Ruby.

Quest	Quest Giver	Starting Location	Rewards
Journey to the Marsh	Any capital city Mage trainer	Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Stormwind City or Ironforge	290 EXP
Hidden Secrets	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	1,450 EXP
Get the Scoop	Magus Tirth	Thousand Needles (Shimmering Flats) - 78.3, 75.7	1,850 EXP
Rituals of Power	Magus Tirth	Thousand Needles (Shimmering Flats) - 78.3, 75.7	3,150 EXP
Items of Power	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	3,150 EXP
Mage's Wand	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	3,150 EXP One of the following: Icefury Wand Nether Force Wand Ragefire Wand

This quest-chain rewards your choice of the Icefury Wand, Nether Force Wand or Ragefire Wand, one for each spec. These wands are excellent and will last you a long time, so this chain is worth doing for the reward. However, consider that there will be a lot of downtime while you travel to do the questline, which could slow your leveling. You should not expect to finish it at level 30 without help, as you will be fighting level 36+ mobs, and have to get through Scarlet Monastery. Try to do the questline with other quests in the region.

Take Journey to the Marsh from the Mage trainer in any capital city, then head to Tabetha's hut in Dustwallow Marsh at 46, 57. Horde should fly to Brackenwall Village, and Alliance to Theramore Isle.

Tabetha's hut is surrounded by level 38 to 40 enemies, so approach from the west by following the road south and cutting east into the marsh. Avoid the east side, where there are higher level enemies.

Tabetha gives two quests, Hidden Secrets and Items of Power. You'll need to finish both before she offers Mage's Wand.

For Hidden Secrets, travel to the Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles, and speak with Magus Tirth at 78.3, 75.7 by the racetrack. He gives Get the Scoop.

Cross the racetrack to the tower at 79, 75 and find "Plucky" Johnson, a small grey chicken wandering near its ramp.Target him with /target "Plucky" Johnson, then type /beckon. He'll turn back into a human, so speak with him and return to Tirth.

Tirth then gives Rituals of Power. The book is in the Library wing of the Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal Glades, so you'll need a group. At the start of the long hall leading up to Arcanist Doan, look for the book sticking out of the bookshelf on your left.

For Items of Power, you need a Jade and the Bolt Charged Bramble. Jade is a rare drop from ore deposits and many enemies, so the Auction House is your best bet.

To make the Bramble, read Tabetha's Instructions and follow these steps:

1. Travel to Witherbark Village in the south-east of Arathi Highlands, around 65, 65 to 71, 66, and kill Witherbark Trolls for 10 Witherbark Totem Sticks.
2. Go to the Circle of Outer Binding at 52, 50. It's guarded by three level 33 to 39 elementals, which can be pulled one at a time if you're careful.
3. Stand on the stone in the middle of the circle, and use the Totem Sticks from your bags. After around 10 seconds, lightning strikes and the Bramble appears. Loot it from the stone.

Once you have the book, the Jade and the Bramble, return to Tabetha and hand in Rituals of Power and Items of Power. Accept Mage's Wand, wait for her brief ritual, then speak with her again to pick your wand.

Quest	Quest Giver	Starting Location	Rewards
Return to the Marsh	Any capital city Mage trainer	Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Stormwind City or Ironforge	320 EXP
The Infernal Orb	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	2,350 EXP
The Exorcism (Elite)	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	2,350 EXP
Power in Uldaman (Dungeon)	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	3,900 EXP
Mana Surges	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	2,350 EXP
Celestial Power	Tabetha	Dustwallow Marsh - 46, 57	3,150 EXP One of the following: Celestial Orb Celestial Stave

This quest-chain rewards your choice of the Celestial Orb or Celestial Stave. Take the orb. The on-use effect is unique and will provide value all throughout the game. Even when you end up replacing it, it can sit in your bag for an extra free refill as an equipment swap.

The chain unlocks at level 35, but every quest is level 40. Two of them are dangerous when undertaken solo: The Exorcism is a fight against a level 40 Elite demon, and Power in Uldaman sends you to an Elite boss inside Uldaman.

Take Return to the Marsh from the Mage trainer in any capital city, then head back to Tabetha's hut in Dustwallow Marsh at 46, 57.

Tabetha gives The Infernal Orb. Travel to Mannoroc Coven in Desolace, and kill Burning Blade Summoners around 50, 77 until one drops the Infernal Orb.

The Summoners are level 38 to 39 Warlocks with an Imp, so kill the Imp first. Watch out for the demons wandering the area, as Nether Maidens are linked and travel in pairs.

Hand in the Orb, then take The Exorcism. Tabetha walks outside and summons the Demon of the Orb in the garden next to her hut. It's a level 40 Elite that attacks only in melee, but he hits very hard. You have 3 minutes to kill it and hand the quest in, or it fails.

Here's how to handle it:

1. Buff up, make a fresh Mana Gem, and have potions ready.
2. You don't need to stand where it spawns. Stay back and open from max range.
3. Use Frostbolt, Frost Nova, Cone of Cold and Blink to kite it and keep it out of melee range. Use Evocation while it's frozen if you run low.
4. As soon as it dies, run back inside and hand the quest in before the timer runs out.

If the fight is going badly, you don't need to finish it. Abandon the quest, get away safely, and take it from Tabetha again when you're ready.

Next is Power in Uldaman. You need the Obsidian Power Source, which drops from the Obsidian Sentinel, a level 42 Elite. It is possible to solo, but it's a very hard fight and you will be much better off trying to do it with a group while you complete the full dungeon and its quests.

Use the back entrance to Uldaman in a cave at 67, 44 in the Badlands. The Sentinel is right behind the first door, with no other enemies around him. There are Elite dragons in the ravine near the entrance, but they are avoidable.

The Sentinel splits off Obsidian Shardlings as he loses health, giving him a stacking debuff that lowers his damage up to 4 times.

Both the Sentinel and the Shardlings reflect targeted spells, so use Cone of Cold, Arcane Explosion or your wand to do damage safely.

The final step is Mana Surges. Tabetha opens a rift outside her hut, and you have 10 minutes to kill 12 Mana Surges. They're level 40, but not Elite, and they don't pull together, so you get away before they spawn and pull them one at a time.

Buff yourself with Dampen Magic to reduce their damage, then stand outside their aggro range and pull one at a time with max-range Fireball. Once you have 12, go straight back to Tabetha to hand it in before the timer runs out.

Hand in Mana Surges, then speak with Tabetha again to complete Celestial Power and pick your reward.

Quest	Quest Giver	Starting Location	Rewards
Magecraft	Any capital city Mage trainer	Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Stormwind City or Ironforge	500 EXP
Magic Dust	Archmage Xylem	Azshara - 29.2, 40.2	5,100 EXP
The Siren's Coral	Archmage Xylem	Azshara - 29.2, 40.2	5,100 EXP
Destroy Morphaz (Dungeon)	Archmage Xylem	Azshara - 29.2, 40.2	6,350 EXP One of the following: Glacial Spike Arcane Crystal Pendant Fire Ruby

This quest-chain rewards your choice of the Glacial Spike, Arcane Crystal Pendant or Fire Ruby. Without knowing what other necklaces and trickets are available, it's hard to say which of those two are the best to pick. The dagger can be avoided, as it overall has a negligible effect, even if you're playing a deep frost mage spec.

The chain unlocks at level 50, and every quest is level 52. The first three quests are soloable with care, but Destroy Morphaz is a dungeon quest in Sunken Temple, so you'll need a group to finish it.

Take Magecraft from the Mage trainer in any capital city, then travel to Azshara. Follow the main road to where it forks at the entrance to the Ruins of Eldarath, then head directly north to the cliffs to find Sanath Lim-yo at 28, 50.

Speak with Sanath to complete the quest and teleport to the top of the cliff. Follow the path up to the tower, where Archmage Xylem walks between its floors. You can use the teleport to go up and down as often as you like.

Xylem gives Magic Dust. You'll need 10 Glittering Dust, which drops from the Blood Elf Reclaimers and Surveyors at Thalassian Base Camp, on a hill around 55, 28. Stay on the highest ground level and follow the cliffs north, as the lower levels of Azshara don't connect to the camp.

The Blood Elves are packed closely together on the hill, so pull them one at a time from the bottom. If you pick up Kim'jael Indeed! from Kim'jael in Azshara, you can do both quests at the same time.

Next is The Siren's Coral. You'll need 6 Enchanted Coral, which drops from the Spitelash Sirens in the Ruins of Eldarath around 36, 55, and on Southridge Beach around 46, 65.

Xylem then gives Destroy Morphaz. You need the Arcane Shard, which drops from Morphaz, a green dragon deep in Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows. He's linked to a second dragon, so your group will fight both together. Pick up the other Sunken Temple quests before you go, so you can complete them in the same run.

Return to Xylem with the Shard to complete Destroy Morphaz and pick your reward.

Quest	Quest Giver	Starting Location	Rewards
Warlord Krellian	Archmage Xylem	Azshara - 29.2, 40.2
Fragmented Magic	Archmage Xylem	Azshara - 29.2, 40.2	Polymorph: Pig

This quest-chain rewards Polymorph: Pig, a cosmetic version of Polymorph that turns your target into a pig. It works the same as your regular Polymorph, so it's purely for fun, but the chain is quick, easy, and soloable at level 60.

Both quests are given by Archmage Xylem at the top of his tower in Azshara. If you haven't been there yet, see the Magecraft section above for how to reach him.

Xylem gives Warlord Krellian. You need the Prismatic Shell, which drops from Warlord Krellian inside the Temple of Zin-Malor in the Ruins of Eldarath, at 40, 53. He's only level 55 and has a single guard.

Return the Shell to Xylem for Fragmented Magic. Cast Polymorph on any Spitelash Naga in the Ruins of Eldarath. After a few seconds, the sheep splits into 2 to 6 small Polymorph Clones, which you'll need to kill 50 of.

Use Frost Nova and Arcane Explosion to kill them quickly as they spawn. They only have 150 health so you can down-rank Arcane Explosion to save a bit of mana, too.

Once you have 50, return to Xylem to complete Fragmented Magic and learn your new spell.
