This shard is much different from the initial sample.

'''Headmaster's Charge''' is a staff that, when used, gives party members a buff that increases intellect by 20, making this staff highly sought after for PvP and raids. In raids, it is often used by support characters such as priests and druids, who are less likely than DPS casters to have a raiding epic like the [[Staff of Dominance]]. The buff stacks with the [[Arcane Intellect]] buff from mages; however the staff must remain equipped or the buff will disappear.

Raiders should again note that the Headmaster's Charge must remain equipped for the buff to remain in effect.

Another quest in the Learning from the Crystals quest chain.

Objectives

Get an Inv datacrystal10 [Altered Crystal Sample] using the Inv pick 03 [Crystal Mining Pick] on the Altered Bloodmyst Crystal and bring it to Harbinger Mikolaas in Blood Watch.

Quest text

Now that we have the baseline crystal, we're going to need samples from more dangerous areas of the island to complete the set I'll be sending to the Exodar.

The next sample must come from the crystals controlled by the blood elves in the Bladewood area to the northwest of Blood Watch. I have heard reports that they alter and harvest the crystals for use in some magical apparatus. See if you can find one that has not yet been incorporated into one of their devices, and mine a sample from it.

Progress

Do you have the second crystal sample?

Completion

<Harbinger Mikolaas examines the crystal shard.>

This shard is much different from the initial sample.

<Harbinger Mikolaas holds the crystal up to catch the light.>

Do you see how it pulsates like that? That's worrisome. I'll make a note in my report of the alterations the blood elves appear to have made to this crystal. Thank you again for your help, <name>.

Rewards

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

Notes

The Bladewood area is directly Northwest of Blood Watch. The Altered Bloodmyst Crystal [45, 47]VZ-Bloodmyst IsleBlip that you are looking for is in the Southwest camp, underneath one of the large hovering crystals. (The other hovering crystals in the area do not have anything notable underneath them.)
