| − | As stated in the [[Resistance]] article, resistance gear should only be used when it's really needed. There are various sources for shadow resistance (like green random drop items and pre-BC sets crafted from [[Dark Rune]]s), but it's not advisable to use these items at level 70, because they're too weak and shadow resistance is generally of little use. |

||
| − | *[[Mount Hyjal]]: on some bosses medium amounts of shadow resistance are highly recommended |

|
| + | From what you've told me, Morthis's suspicions seem plausible, but we need confirmation. |
||
| − | Besides that, shadow resistance can also be useful in PvP when fighting shadow [[Priest]]s and [[Warlock]]s. |
||
| + | In his research, [[Timeon]] has uncovered clues that a "book of the raven" served as an ancient scripture to the cult. |
||
| − | Nonetheless, [[Resilience]] is generally considered to be the more useful stat in PvP. |
||
| + | The arakkoa spirits will not reveal themselves to your eyes. Take this stone with you to the high peaks in the western part of Blade's Edge, to the south of [[Raven's Wood]], obtain an aether ray eye, and combine them to augment your sight. Search for the ghost Timeon identified as Sai'kkal the Elder. |
||
| − | == Mount Hyjal and Black Temple == |
||
| − | [[Mount Hyjal]] and [[Black Temple]] are the only places which cannot be mastered without shadow resistance, and incidentally these are the only places where [[Heart of Darkness]] drops. Therefore, raids entering Mount Hyjal start to find these items, and are well advised to save them and set up a policy how to craft shadow resistance gear for everybody, because at Mother Shahraz the whole raid really needs it. |
||
| + | == Progress == |
||
| − | The first good shadow resistance item is gained by the [[Black Temple Attunement]], it's the [[Medallion of Karabor]]. The next item everybody should get made is [[Night's End]] which needs only one [[Heart of Darkness]] to craft. The following table lists the remaining items together with the number of HoDs needed, and the amount of resistance gained for each HoD used. |

| − | The only encounter in the entire game which needs really large amounts of shadow resistance is [[Mother Shahraz]]. Assuming the raid is buffed with Rank 2 [[Prayer of Shadow Protection]] and everyone has a [[Medallion of Karabor]], the [[Resistance|resistance cap]] of 365 can be reached with the 5 pieces of crafted gear and no shadow resistance enchantments at all. Since equipping 24 raid members with the full set would require about (8 * 30 =) 240 HoD, many raids won't reach this goal. Most frequently, some raid members miss the Legs. In these cases, some enchants should be used and/or a few gems or green items to reach the cap. Reaching the cap is not a requirement for beating this encounter, especially once the players are better at moving away from one another during Fatal Attraction. |

The Book of the Raven is part of the Swift Flight Form quest chain.
Get an Aether Ray Eye first
Combine Eye and Stone to find Sai'kkal
Objectives
Use an 
[Aether Ray Eye] with your 
[Seer's Stone] to reveal the raven cult ghosts. Search the Vortex Pinnacle for the spirit of Sai'kkal the Elder and question him about the book of the raven, then return to Arthorn Windsong.
- Learn about the Book of the Raven
- [Seer's Stone] (Provided)
Description
From what you've told me, Morthis's suspicions seem plausible, but we need confirmation.
In his research, Timeon has uncovered clues that a "book of the raven" served as an ancient scripture to the cult.
The arakkoa spirits will not reveal themselves to your eyes. Take this stone with you to the high peaks in the western part of Blade's Edge, to the south of Raven's Wood, obtain an aether ray eye, and combine them to augment your sight. Search for the ghost Timeon identified as Sai'kkal the Elder.
Progress
<Arthorn looks at you hopefully.>
Were you able to track down any information about the book?
Completion
Isn't it amazing that even among arakkoa, the cultists were considered heretics? That the traditional priests hated them enough to destroy their holy text is incredible! We must get our hands on that book, <name>.
It's the key to unraveling the mystery of the raven god and preventing him from taking over the Emerald Dream.
Perhaps Morthis will finally agree to take me as a student if we succeed!
Gains
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
- 150 reputation with Cenarion Expedition
Notes
The Aether ray eye drops readily, and gives you a 5 minute buff that lets you see the spirits. There are a number of spirits wandering around Vortex Pinnacle. The ones that are not Sai'kkal will give you a clue to his location.
Once you find him (he is just east of Ogri'la), you will have a discussion with him:
- <The arakkoa ghost reaches out toward you as though to try to identify you. You get the impression that it cannot see you clearly.>
- Rokkaram, is that you?
Yes... yes, it's me...
- Forgive me for questioning you, my son. My sight isn't what it once was, but the raven has blessed me with a long life.
- Soon it will be time for you to take my place. I have taught you all I know. My only regret is that I didn't prove worthy enough to recover our sacred Book of the Raven.
Yes, elder. Tell me more of the book.
- The true believers have lived in shame since the day our treacherous cousins in Skettis stole the book from us, shattered its tablet, and buried the fragments in their wretched city!
- Pray that the raven will choose you to restore it, my son. Be faithful and remember always the prophecy, "From the dreams of his enemies shall the raven spring forth into the world."
