Gleaning Our Future Quest in WoW Forever: Four Golem Hearts

Gleaning Our Future is a level 32 Elite Wetlands quest in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) in which you use the Goaz Stone near four golems, Ados, Modr, Golm and Neru, and bring their hearts back to Prospector Whelgar for 3,200 XP and a choice of reward. ForeverChanges lists it as Alliance only and New in Forever, and it follows the level 31 quest Understanding Our Present.

Quick answer: Finish Understanding Our Present, then take Gleaning Our Future from Whelgar at 38.8, 52.2 and visit each golem: Ados near the Dragonmaw Gates, Modr outside Dun Modr, Golm beneath Grim Batol and Neru behind Direforge Hill.

Six steps for Gleaning Our Future: take the quest from Prospector Whelgar at 38.8, 52.2 after Understanding Our Present, use the Goaz Stone near Ados at the Dragonmaw Gates, Modr outside Dun Modr, Golm beneath Grim Batol and Neru behind Direforge Hill, then return the four hearts for 3,200 XP and a reward choice.

In the Wetlands a prospector's stone is missing four fragments, and the four golems that carry their names stand across the north and east of the zone.

Key facts

  • Quest: Gleaning Our Future, ID 98310, level 32 Elite, Alliance (ForeverChanges)
  • Giver and turn-in: Prospector Whelgar, Wetlands, 38.8, 52.2 (ForeverChanges)

What is Understanding Our Present?

It is the quest before. ForeverChanges lists Understanding Our Present as a level 31 Elite that requires level 23: use the Goaz Stone near the Goaz Warder and bring its Titanic Keystone back to Whelgar. You choose the Prospector's Signet or the Excavation Cloak and earn 3,150 XP. No source I opened says where the Goaz Warder stands. For the whole chain see the Giantstone quests guide.

Where are the four golems?

Hyjal.cc, UrGameTips (October 18, 2026) and the Rexas database agree:

  • Ados: the Dragonmaw Gates in the east, near Grim Batol
  • Modr: outside Dun Modr, to the north
  • Golm: beneath Grim Batol, east of Dun Algaz
  • Neru: behind Direforge Hill, to the northeast

UrGameTips says Whelgar gives you one Goaz Stone for all four; you then return the Heart of Ados, Modr, Golm and Neru to him. More on the zone is in the Wetlands guide and new Wetlands quests.

How hard is Gleaning Our Future?

ForeverChanges tags it Elite. UrGameTips advises clearing the orcs near Ados first, keeping an escape route and bringing a group if the fights are too hard, and says the quest cannot be shared. The wowf.io database marks it as a group quest. See looking for group.

What is the Goaz Stone?

Warcraft Wiki says Prospector Whelgar, a dwarf of the Explorers' League tied to Ironforge, found a tablet in Titan script that speaks of a divine plan and a doomed prophecy. It names the Old Gods and was missing four fragments, Ados, Modr, Golm and Neru, which Uncovering the Past, the first quest in the chain, sends you to find. This lore comes from Warcraft Wiki alone; I found no second source.

What do the sources disagree on?

  • Required level: 24 (ForeverChanges, hyjal.cc, UrGameTips), 22 (wowf.io, whose own chain header says 24) or 27 (Rexas).
  • XP: 3,200 (ForeverChanges, hyjal.cc) or 3,296 (Rexas); Rexas also lists 3,244 and required level 26 for Understanding Our Present.
  • Whelgar: 38.8, 52.2 on ForeverChanges, 38.8, 52.4 on wowf.io.

What is not confirmed yet

ForeverChanges says this quest's details are updated as players of its addon see them in game, and that its Understanding Our Present and For Further Study data comes from Wowhead's Forever database until the beta confirms it. Wowhead itself would not load for me. Treat levels and rewards as beta data.

How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with the Wetlands golems?

The free Lore Forever add-on gives readable story and recorded narration for the zone you are in, a Lore button on quests, and a Journey page of finished quests, so you can read the Wetlands' story as you go. Willo is a Windows companion app: hold your talk key, ask where Modr is, hear the answer, pin each golem on your journey map, and use the Friends tab to see which friends are out in the world, if they share it. She is free to start with 50 answers a day, works without the add-on, and can be wrong. Lore Forever is fan-made.
