Detailed Walk Through

To start this quest first go hunt for a Shroud Cabal Forager Captain that can be found northeast of Qal'abar (it is a random spawn). Captains spawn with 3 Shroud Cabal Foragers. Kill the Captain and loot a Forager Captain's Resonator. Note that the coordinates of where you have to taken it are in the inscription of the item.

Goto 52.6S 42.8E where you will find a typical Menhir Ring formation with a Southern Resonating Crystal in the center. Hand your Forager Captain's Resonator to the crystal to be portaled into a dungeon.

You give Southern Resonating Crystal Forager Captain's Resonator. As you hold the resonator against the crystal, a warm, harmonious tone fills the center of the menhir ring, and you feel yourself being pulled gently into portal space...

If you use the surface portal you can just use the crystal again to reenter the dungeon. Unsure how long the flag lasts.

Already seeming to be in harmony with you somehow, the crystal thrums briefly, then opens up a path into portalspace for you.

The dungeon is not very complex and has three types of monsters: Shroud Cabal Foragers, Drudge Raveners, and Augmented Drudges. At the end you will find a Shroud Cabal Ley-Leech. Kill him and loot a medallion and a piece of lore Ley-Leech's Orders. He only drops one of each item. Take the medallion to Nomendar al-Rakh for a reward.

You give Nomendar al-Rakh Ley Leech's Medallion.

Nomendar al-Rakh tells you, "Very interesting! This medallion can actually be used to directly siphon mana out of a node between ley lines, if one possesses the geomantic skill necessary... Not useful to one such as yourself, you understand, but I have colleagues who would find this medallion to be valuable and informative. All I can do is thank you with some practical experience..."
