Wetlands Giantstone Quests in WoW Forever: Whelgar's Chain and the Giantstone Medallion

The Giantstone Medallion is one of three rewards for Gleaning Our Future, the third quest in Prospector Whelgar's four-quest chain at the excavation site in the Wetlands in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever); the chain runs from level 27 to 32 and, according to ForeverChanges, is worth 8,550 XP in total. ForeverChanges tags Understanding Our Present and Gleaning Our Future New in Forever and Uncovering the Past Changed; For Further Study shows no tag on its page.

Quick answer: Talk to Prospector Whelgar at about 38.8, 52.2 in the Wetlands. Do Uncovering the Past, Understanding Our Present, Gleaning Our Future and For Further Study, then deliver the relic package to Historian Karnik in Ironforge. No source I opened calls the chain "Giantstone"; the name comes from the medallion.

Prospector Whelgar's quest chain in the Wetlands — Six steps in order: find Prospector Whelgar at 38.8, 52.2 in the Wetlands, Uncovering the Past at level 27 for 2,200 XP, Understanding Our Present at level 31 for 3,150 XP, Gleaning Our Future at level 32 for 3,200 XP with a choice of Giantstone Medallion, For Further Study at level 32, and delivery to Historian Karnik in Ironforge at 77.2, 11.8.

The chain opens with four missing tablet fragments. The later quests send you for four golems that share the fragments' names, according to ForeverChanges.

Where is Prospector Whelgar in the Wetlands?

Whelgar stands at the excavation site in the Wetlands; the zone itself is covered in the Wetlands guide. ForeverChanges gives his position as 38.8, 52.2 on three of its quest pages and 38.8, 52.4 on the Uncovering the Past page. Warcraft Wiki's Lost Relic Carry page gives 38.8, 52.2, and Warcraft Tavern's Wetlands quest page gives 38.8, 52.3, so the sources agree on the first number and differ on the second.

What happens in Uncovering the Past?

You hunt four missing tablet fragments. ForeverChanges lists the quest at level 27 with a required level of 22 and 2,200 XP, tagged Changed in Forever, and shows the Classic values beside them: level 28, required level 25 and 2,300 XP. Warcraft Wiki lists those Classic values (level 28, required level 25, 2,300 XP) and says the quest was removed in patch 4.0.3a but remains in Classic and Forever. The fragments are named Ados, Modr, Golm and Neru. ForeverChanges lists three as Ancient Relic objects and one as Loose Soil, and Warcraft Wiki says to search ancient artifacts or loose soil at the dig. The reward is the Silk Mantle of Gamn. Reputation with Ironforge differs: +100 on ForeverChanges, +250 on Warcraft Wiki.

What do Understanding Our Present and Gleaning Our Future ask?

They ask you to use a stone at the dig. ForeverChanges lists Understanding Our Present as a level 31 Elite quest with a required level of 23 and 3,150 XP: use the Goaz Stone near the Goaz Warder and bring its Titanic Keystone back to Whelgar. The reward is a choice of Prospector's Signet or Excavation Cloak. Gleaning Our Future is a level 32 Elite quest with a required level of 24 and 3,200 XP: use the Goaz Stone near the Ados, Modr, Golm and Neru golems and bring their hearts back. ForeverChanges places Ados at the Dragonmaw Gates in the east near Grim Batol, Modr just outside Dun Modr to the north, Golm beneath Grim Batol east of Dun Algaz, and Neru behind Direforge Hill in the northeast. Its Giantstone Medallion page advises taking a group. ForeverChanges tags both quests New in Forever.

What is the Giantstone Medallion?

It is the third choice on the reward list. ForeverChanges describes it as a Rare neck item with item level 32 and +10 Spirit that binds when picked up. ForeverChanges' Gleaning Our Future page lists the other two choices as the Golem War Cloak and the Rune-Etched Ring. The medallion page says the item is confirmed in the Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70338) but that the quest rewards were not checked there and could still change.

What is For Further Study?

It is the last, quiet step. ForeverChanges lists For Further Study at level 32, required level 24, open to both factions, with no XP and no rewards. The quest provides the Whelgar Relic Package, and you take it to Historian Karnik in the Hall of Explorers in Ironforge at 77.2, 11.8. The Ironforge lore guide covers the city.

Is this the same as the Lost Relic Carry chain?

No, but it shares an NPC. Lost Relic Carry is a dungeon quest for the Excavation Site: Wetlands. Warcraft Wiki lists it at level 31 with 1,250 XP and says it begins from the Titan Relic item and ends with Whelgar. Prehistoric Prism follows it: Whelgar gives it, High Explorer Magellas in Ironforge takes it at 69.6, 18.6, and it pays 6,150 XP and 60 silver. Warcraft Tavern gives Magellas at 69.4, 19.1. They are part of the dungeon's quests, not Whelgar's chain above.

What is not confirmed yet

Quest data: ForeverChanges and Warcraft Wiki differ on Uncovering the Past's reputation, and the sources differ on Whelgar's second coordinate.
Group size: Only the Giantstone Medallion page advises a group for Gleaning Our Future; the quest's own page lists no group requirement.
Rewards and XP: The Medallion page says rewards were not checked in the beta.
Name: No source I opened calls the chain "Giantstone".
