Once you've gone out and found your mana, it's a pain in the arse to find the entrance back inside. It's at 35,48.

Comment by varenne

This is 8 quest in Suramar zone.
Previous quest is Shal'Aran

Cave entrance is 34.9, 47.5. Near the flight point. You can see 2 broken pillars and cave entrance is in the middle.

Ancient Mana is part of Nightfallen But Not Forgotten
This quest is not part of any storyline there, but you will need it to progress further.

You can find more info about storyline in the achievement link
You will aslo need this quest for Good Suramaritan

Here is Ancient Mana video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZktAIxS1yTg

Wowhead doesn't shows this, but you will get Mana Divining Stone as a reward. Mana Divining Stone will allow you to see Ancient Mana nodes on the minimap, just like herbalism or mining

Don't forget-- Thalyssra is waiting for you in her underground CAVE! I was running on top of the question mark for a few minutes. Entrance at 35.0, 48.0.

After you use the item to track the Mana Divining Stone to track the Ancient Mana nodes, you can safely delete it and you'll still have the tracking buff on you.

In the event you ever need the item again (if you cancel the buff for some reason), you can always talk to First Arcanist Thalyssra again and she'll give you the stone back.

Unlike most other quest objectives now, these will despawn after somebody else loots them, which is highly annoying. Be competitive and race others for these.

Comment by Briandris

Does anyone know why I can't hand in this quest? When I try it says "you can't do that right now". In the dialogue it says her hunger must be fed something like that.. in red.

EDIT: There is an item in your bags you must open to get some "ancient mana" and then you can turn in the blue question mark to feed her which THEN makes the original quest "Ancient Mana" able to be handed in.

The entrance to the cave is 35, 48.

It is at the level of the lake and has two pillars marking its entrance.

*****Warning****
do not abandon this quest or any of the others:
Oculeth's Workshop, An Old Ally
you will NOT be able to pick them up again atm

Comment by ladydanotte

The flight point is "Ancient Cloudwing." In case you keep missing it.

Comment by Boxofbeer

As you use Mana Divining Stone there are anicent mana nods being shown on the mini map, that colored blue color. There are few kinds of mana nods, some give you small amount of mana, others give better. the point of the quest - find and gather three mana nobs around Meredil. Run across cliffs or trees.

A one-off quest: Ancient Mana, which follows the Nightfallen questline, is designed to tutor you in gathering Ancient Mana and uses the Mana Divining Stone to add location nodes to the mini-map in order to farm Ancient Mana and is therefore essential to completing the Suramar storyline. This is followed by the Chief Telemancer Oculeth Questline which teaches players about the teleportation system in Suramar and ends with the Survey Says... quest, to complete the second storyline in the Nightfallen But Not Forgotten achievement.

Ancient Mana id = 44672 Reward: Mana Divining Stone and the daily Feed Thalyssra id = 43994

Chief Telemancer Oculeth Questline for Nightfallen But Not Forgotten (Prerequisite: Shal'Aran

1.Oculeth's Workshop id = 40011
|
2.The Delicate Art of Telemancy id = 40747 Reward: Enchanted Nightborne Coin
|
3.Network Security id = 40478 Reward: Enchanted Nightborne Coin
| Optional: Warp Cache Treasure. See Instructions
|
4.Close Enough id = 40830 Reward: Citrine Telemancy Index
|
5.Hungry Work id = 44691

6.Survey Says... id = 40956

To check if you have completed any one of these series of quests, input the following code, after having replaced the quest id number (see above) for the quest id number you want to check, into your chat box while playing WoW:
/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44672)
or alternatively to check your completion of the whole series of 7 quests, input the following code into your chat box while playing WoW:
/run for k,v in pairs({AncientMana=44672,OculethsWksp=40011,ArtTelemancy=40747,NetworkSecu=40478,CloseEnough=40830,HungryWork=44691,SurveySays=40956})do print(format("%s: \124cff%s\124r", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "00ff00Yes" or "ff0000No"))end

So after handing in Shal'Aran, I went off and did some other stuff and came back a week later and all First Arcanist Thalyssra had for me was the daily quest Feed Thalyssra. I couldn't accept any other quest from her until I got her the required 50 Ancient Mana (for the daily). After that she correctly offered me the next three quests in the chain: Ancient Mana, Oculeth's Workshop & An Old Ally.

Comment by WokkaD

This ACCEPTANCE of this quest opens up the ability to collect the 5 items which increase your Ancient Mana storage.
I have collected several of the items without completing this quest.

Ancient Mana

Gather from 3 Ancient Mana nodes.

Description

Without the Nightwell to feed upon, my comrades and I will have to live off the land itself.

Ancient mana from the underground leylines can reach the surface in many forms, most commonly as crystals or gems.

<Thalyssra picks up a small stone and, whispering words of power, traces a rune upon it with her fingertip.>

This stone will glow when ancient mana is nearby. Please gather as much as possible! It will be a precious resource in the weeks to come.
