Another of these items, that just fills your inventory. Belamoore's Research Journal drop from Warden Belamoore and is worth nothing and should just be trashed.

It's an interesting read, and actually points to a PUQ (Pick Up Quest), I believe.

Note page 15: " So I sent the bloodstone pendant with a courier to Dalaran with specific instructions on how to test it, so they may avoid my earlier frustrations."

Also, page 18: "But after weeks of no news my patience faltered, and upon further inquires to Dalaran I learned that the bloodstone never reached my colleagues. My courier was somehow lost on the way, and the bloodstone pendant was lost with him!"

Finally, 19: "I have sent another messenger to Dalaran, and hear that even now they are scouring for the pendant, in the ruins outside our protective sphere.

I only hope we're not too late."

This may be intended as a lead-in to direct one to a kill or a loot that starts a quest, though I do not yet know of it.

I personally think it's hinting towards https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4614 and the quest chain that follows

The way she talks about feeling a deep, hidden, dark power, yearning for release <page 3>, the stone being alive, made from the blood of an unknown thing <page 12>, and the elements all remind me of the Myzrael quest chain

From the Quest text, Prison Break In

"You see, four Forsaken fled the Undercity a few months ago. They turned their backs on their brethren, but what's worse...they stole from the Dark Lady.

These thieves broke into a secure vault and stole four artifacts, items our apothecaries required in certain studies. Sylvanas would have these artifacts returned."

From her book...

' "Remnants of the Old Gods still linger in the deep hollows of the world. New forces seek to harness that ancient power, and those who succeed will have a terrible weapon against their enemies."

That is what Kegan uttered as he handed his bloodstone pendant to me... '

I think one point of this quest is for the Lore freaks, as it implies that the Forsaken (or at least an element) are dabbling in the power of the Old Gods.

Commento di VoidDragon

I think it would actually be referring more to the references of an Old God underneath Tirisfal. The High Elves felt it when they first landed and I believe some others have felt the presence.

We'll just have to see what turns up.

There is another questioning the forsakens (or sylvanas's) lust for power, In Dustwallow Marsh there is a Forsaken Apothecary killable by both alliance and horde, and for horde drops a item that starts a quest

or Signs of treachery.
And i just started liking playing undead too...

Commento di Thottbot

..it was an interesting read. :)

Commento di Thottbot

Perhaps it's the "Befouled Bloodstone" thing dropped by Maerz Cowl for the other quest--this book could explain how he got one.

Commento di Thottbot

I think the book is taking about the pendant of myzrael

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4056/cortellos-riddle

which is dropped by humanoids outside the dalaran circle

Commento di Thottbot

...that it might be a quest which has not been fixed.

Why?
Because it sound like it when/if you read the book.
as if reading it would start one, or, your suppose to find someone who might take intresset in what the book says.
Either way, it doesn't seem to be an existing quest at the moment.
Maybe blizzard will fix it at the next update or such. ^_^

Commento di Thottbot

While Hakkar may indeed be "the Blood God", he's not an Old God. He's a Primal God, which sounds the same, but was actually around after the Titans came, not before like the Old Gods. Ahn'Qiraj seems to be about an Old God, with C'thun likely being the final boss, but I doubt that has to do with the bloodstones either. I'm sure there's at least some clue in the bloodstone quests, but I'm not quite finished with them yet.

Commento di Thottbot

It's just adds more behind story, nothing more nothing less. It's same as books on the table around neutral town's inn or something.

Commento di Thottbot

in the story it says that the item was lost in the ruins around the outside of their protective bubble and the closes ruins are the ruins of alterac so maybe someone could go check that place out for the bloodstone thing but i dont think im high enough lvl to check it out. if anyone checks it out and finds something let us all know

Commento di Thottbot

I know it's not the pendant of Myzrael; I got that pendant like five levels before I ever got close to Belamoore's Research Journal, off a Gelkis Clan Centaur literally half the world away (in Desolace, in SW Kalimdor). More likely, it's for a quest that was never implemented, so they left it in for back story.

The Myzrael pendant is a random drop that's simply designed as a hook to get you to go to Alterac.

Commento di Thottbot

I'm no expert by any means but could it be in one of those hidden dalaren strongboxes that u need a rune of opening for ?

Commento di Thottbot

It's an unfinished quest. You can't get the Bloodstone Pendant yet. Simple as that.

Commento di Thottbot

Just got the book, ran around Dalanar looking for the courier and didn't find one. Either the book is part of an unfinished quest line (much like The Blackened Shield in Dust Wallow Marsh) or it was just added to spice up the role playing a bit.

Bloodstone Pendant.

Commento di Thottbot

I took the journal seriously. Read the entire thing, as it was rather interesting. Then I went on the hunt, Snuk through the ruins, killing the mages, taking their runes of opening that I found, then I came to the first Hidden Dalaran lockbox, opened it, and found nothing. There was no pendant in there, and there was no courier either. I spent an entire level there and oppened a lot of chests, and still could not find it. Either the item doesn't exist, or it has an insanely low drop rate.

Commento di Thottbot

considering these posts go back 2 and half years im pretty sure blizz has no intention of turning this item into a actual quest... blizz dropped the ball on this one... interesting storyline. Oh well its trash

Commento di Thottbot

how do you get into dalaran?

Commento di Thottbot

There is also a quest in Arathi Highlands called Foul Magics in which you have to retrieve Bloodstone Amulets. This bok seems to be nothing more than story line.

Commento di Thottbot

For something that does nothing, it sure goes for a lot on the Auction House. On Gorefiend I saw 2 books for 26 gold a piece. Several minutes later, I checked again to make sure I wasn't making a mistake and 1 had sold already.
As for the book being only for back story, I find that a little peculiar as everything you pick up has some use regardless of its significance.

Commento di Thottbot

Ok, so upon reading the journal i was very intreged by it and was already to go hunting for the lost stone,but then it hit me. In the journal Belamoore mentions that it was Kegans stone that he gave her that she was studying and had sent via courier to Dalaran that had gone missing well heres the solution in my eyes. You kill Kegan Darkmar right next to her at the top of the house, and what does he drop...his Bloodstone... so by assumption i take it that Kegans lust for the gem drove him to murder the courier and take back the stone for his own or his fear of what the stone could do if put in the wrong hands forced him to take back the stone. Belamoore's growing fondness or fealings for Kegan left her blind to the truth that was right in front her the whole time.
Let me know what you think about my assumption. =)

Commento di Thottbot

It cant be the drove to murder teory because the book clearly says that the 4 undead have many samples of blodstone on them but, that the pendant with wich she experimented was special. =p so yah the pendant is still out there

Commento di Thottbot

Well i got this item while doing the TM quests and having read the info on WotLK im sure this will play into it seeing as how the main city there will be Dalaran and there will be a big crater left behind so maybe this line will open up after the expansion

Commento di Thottbot

Try looking in the chests that require a Rune of Opening. They are scattered around the wrecked buildings.

Commento di Thottbot

It's still an awesome book to read. I think I'll keep it just because.

Commento di Allakhazam

I found the book and looked it up. any idea when the quest will be finished

Commento di Allakhazam

I read through the 19 pages of the book, and I've been searching the ruins around dalaran since. No luck finding it. Anyone?

Commento di Allakhazam

It would appear that the quest is not yet finished:

Bloodstone Pendant

Commento di Allakhazam

Ok, i don't think there is a use for it BUT for the horde there is a quest in Arathi Highlands in which u have to get bloodstone pendants. There is a rare spawn in that place i have killed her b4 and she dropped a quest that was i think the bloodstone that was stolen. Any1 else wanna research this go ahead i was just putting in my thoughts.

Commento di Allakhazam

isn't it a book which talks about some bloodstones?
i have it too, but i don't know which quest needs this item...
And i have never seen a bloodstone....

Commento di Allakhazam

I've farmed near Dalaran all day today and no pendant drop.... prolly doesn't exist.

Commento di Allakhazam

Have not found that it is quest item in itself but and here is the big BUT it gives a clue where horde can find the Bloodstone gems for a quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

Do you keep it or drop it? BC is out and so far nothing new about this item. Guess I'll hang on to it far a little while longer.

Commento di Allakhazam

What is it?
Whay did I get it?
What shall I do with it?
What is it good for?
Is it for a quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know what this item is used for?

Commento di Allakhazam

Sorry, my guess is as good as the next persons.

This is my theory: The messenger the book speaks about "outside the protective shell" could be the one used for the Karazhan attunement quest.

The pendant itself appears to exist (Bloodstone Pendant) but the quest for it seems not to have been added yet.

When in Karazhan you learn about how Nightbane came to exist. Soulfire and this pendant could have a relation in the hands of someone like Medivh.

But, as of now, we will have to wait and see. Speculating is fun, though :)

Commento di Allakhazam

I love things like these. I collect books, and this is one of my favorites. This is even above A Steamy Romance Novel

Commento di Allakhazam

I hate stupid items.....this is one of them. WTF is its reason for existing?

Commento di Allakhazam

I hate stupid items.....this is one of them. WTF is its reason for existing?

Not sure, but why not play the game and see if you can find out rather than complain about it?

Edit, by GFY I meant GFU as in Good For U... not to be confused...

Commento di Allakhazam

Reading this made me feel a bit guilty about killing the undead for my original quest. Every quest I do in the undead territory seems to be depressing.... Even if they never make this quest I'm going to keep the book, just for role playing reasons.

Commento di Allakhazam

I am wanting to know as well. Anyone with any info on it?

Commento di Allakhazam

I got this item and a pendant in the same building. Not the bloodstone pendant but the Pendant of Myzrael (random world drop) that leads to Crystal in the Mountains.

Commento di Allakhazam

From what is said on the last few pages, I think that it wasn't just lost in the ruins, I think that the messenger was either possessed and ran away with it, or he was taken away, with the pendant, somewhere. So this may eventually be a part of the storyline in the burning crusades, perhaps a blood elf quest? mabye this messenger will become some great power and characters will have to vanquish it. But that's just my opinion.

Commento di Allakhazam

Props to the Blizzard employees who actually wrote this. I don't usually read things like this, but I was curious as to why it was anything but a gray, I thought at the end it might give me a quest, so I read it. Very nice piece of work, and I'm looking forward to this quest, if it ever gets implimented.

Commento di Allakhazam

Wondering what this is used for myself! Anyone have a clue?

Commento di emmaworld

Just for fun. do nothing.

Commento di oozie

The item bloodstone pendant doesn't exist in the game - in the beta it DID exist - it was inside a hidden strongbox in old Dalaran area - but the book which mentions it , Belamoores research journal, is just a dead end now. The pendant and further questline, never made it into the game - and we will never know how the poor courier met his end . . .

Commento di Arideni

There's a lot of information on this, but I wanted to add something that no one else including me may have thought of. Long and short of it is:

The pendent was in the beta as a drop from the Dalaran lockboxes. The "key" are obtained (by Horde) as drops from killing them. It started a quest that was never implemented and the reward was an epic pendant: Bloodstone Pendant. However, it was tagged NYI meaning it was intended to happen, but simply never did. Probably because of a couple things (the future content concerning Dalaran, Tarren Mill already having a couple long questlines, no other major quest hubs in Alterac, the design philosophy of vanilla vs. today where epics are like M&M's).

Anyway, if you continue the Syndicate quests beginning with Infiltration from Tarren Mill you'll be led to the quest to find Gol'dir. Upon completion Gol'dir, an orc, says this:

More important was that he brought his mistress, a wisp of a girl named Elysa. Around her neck was the pendant the Warchief desires.

For those who don't know much about the lore, this is not the Bloodstone Pendant, but perhaps the plan was initially to tie them together and they either scrapped it or just left it for other reasons. Later on, in the Caverns of Time, we realize more of that storyline. However, nothing about the Bloodstone is (to my knowledge) ever really gone over again.

So maybe they're unrelated. I guess we just won't ever know.

For more information on the other necklace, check out the lore here.
