Lil' Ragnaros and Moonkin Hatchling previewElemental invasion phase 2 begins

For the Horde, you'll be rounding up some agitated fire elementals after drinking some sapta and helping Earthmender Norsala get the tablets of fire after Durak Flamespeaker is ambushed by a Twilight Seeker.
If all goes according to plan and each week we get the next phase of the invasion, we may see the next wave happening Monday, Nov. 15. City invasions, random dungeon bosses and more await us in the near future! We live in exciting times, ladies and gentlemen.

If my experience on the 4.0.1 PTR is correct, this isn't the full Phase 2 - the second part of Phase 2 includes the second part of the cultist chain, where Cultist Infiltrators spawn in major cities.

Yes, you can't really call it a new "phase" because if it is, it's a pretty pathetic one. All this did was add two quests, one where you grind mobs and one where you click a crystal over and over (which you probably won't even have to do as you can get the quest item at the end whether you helped or not, as long as you're nearby and on the quest)
I know it's going to get more exciting in the weeks to come, but honestly, could this week's "phase" not have been pushed into last week's? It's kind of a let down.
Bring on the downrating, I guess.

Well, I've noticed new cultist in SW, they're walking randomly talking about world's end and other.
But in fact I cant get the "tablets" quest. Gavan appears to not have any quests for me.
Maybe they changed the some things in this 2-part 2nd phase.

@ Jędrzej:
I actually found the quest for the tablet to be at one of the Earthen Ring NPCs by the Stormwind Bank, not Gavan

@Rin Then you'd be complaining that this week there was no update.
"Jeeze Blizz, couldn't you have taken a few quests from last week and made them active this week so it seemed like there was some build up!?"

@ Rin
actually, you only click the crystal once. Clicking it gives you an action bar of super powers to fend off the attacking elementals!

@Prances in Underpantss
for me, I didn't even click on anything. I didn't get an action bar or anything. I just stood there and watched some Pally do everything. I was waiting for my trun to come.. then I noticed it said I completed the quest and had to return to the NPC to turn it in...
I was saddened... it looked like fun :(

As long as McCurley isn't reading the entirety of the text quest on the next podcast, I think all will be well in any event.
Josin Nov 8th 2010 2:42PM
I'm hearing from friends that there's in-game mail directing you to some happenings in Stormwind Harbor, as well. Check it out!
Dendaris Nov 8th 2010 4:18PM
I did not receive an in-game mail.
Rai Nov 8th 2010 9:11PM
Uh oh. Someone had an accident with the time machine.
Josin Nov 9th 2010 12:34AM
Meh. Don't downvote the messenger? Just was trying to be helpful as I could be from work. Second-hand info. Sorry.
Dendaris Nov 9th 2010 8:14AM
It wasn't me.
Darias.Perenolde Nov 9th 2010 7:58PM
Well...the guy is kinda standing near the mailbox in SW by the bank.....
woshiernog Nov 8th 2010 2:43PM
Does this mean you can no longer do phase one?
ontheyamaha-2005 Nov 8th 2010 2:51PM
i just did the phase 1 on my druid while doing part of phase 2, so yes, you can still do phase 1

Hooray for Zoidberg!

I hope this is isn't all of it. The entire "chain" took about 15mins and most of that was traveling time.
LordVashtal Nov 8th 2010 3:02PM
Totally read that as "most of that was time traveling"
Little did I realize when I began the quest chain that Safety was NOT guaranteed
