Finding the Source

A level 55 quest for both factions, from level 51.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Krakle in Un'Goro Crater wants you to find the hottest area of Fire Plume Ridge.

Whenever you find a hot spot, right click the thermometer to check the temperature. Keep looking until you find the hottest one.

Provided: Krakle's Thermometer

Description

The hot springs here are a source of mystery to me. Where does the heat come from?

Looking at how close the pools are to Fire Plume Ridge, I really wonder if the volcano might have something to do with it. I created a thermometer to take readings of the temperatures at the volcano, and I'd like to find the hottest part. It gives the measurements in degrees Kraklenheit!

Here, take it, and take readings of the temperatures at the ridge whenever you see a hot spot!

When you come back

I'd go there myself, but... I'm a little scared of the fire elementals there!

When you hand it in

Yes, I definitely see the correlation here between the temperature of the volcano and the hot springs. I'll have to double-check my equations for accuracy, but it seems like the distance and the rate that the heat is transferred... Hmm...
