You can take the Felbane Camp flightpoint, and then run south along the Ettin trail up the mountain. There will be a path heading up, on your left, and it leads right to her.

This quest is related to the Champions of Legionfall quest and is priest specific. After completing the short quest chain. According to Helcalya's post on the page, you must have completed the first 6 parts of Breaching the Tomb before you can begin this quest.

I really like the need to use "classic" priest spells to do the quests. Well done Blizz!

The correct TomTom command is:

/way Highmountain:Broken Isles 29.9 55.9 Aelthalyste

Seems there is another Highmountan and TomTom needs a tad more info.

If you're stuck trying to find Aelthalyste

If you do not have the Flight Path Felbane Camp. You need to get the High Mountain and fly to the coast area called Blind Marshlands.

Once you get to Blind Marshlands find the Felbane Camp. You will see a path that goes up the mountain toward the Etin Walk. Fly up this hill and you will see a path that diverges up the hill where it's green.

Aelthalyste is at the top of this hill under a structure next to the house.

Coords : 29.91 / 55.85

My experience trying to start this quest: Note* I had already completed my class hall campaign and I had picked up the quest "Champions of Legionfall" from Broken Shore.

I went to my class hall as instructed but Alonsos Faol offered me nothing, no quest. I read on various quest threads to try to (equip my artifact weapons, switch specs, log off/on, exit/re-enter order hall, drop quest, do a heroic dungeon lol) not of that worked to get the the quest "A Curious Contagion" to appear over Alonsos Faol.

As a last ditch effort I opened up my map and focused on the zone of Highmountain to see if I could see an available quest but all I saw was world quests. I decided to head to Highmountain and check for myself. Sure enough when I got to the NPC Aelthalyste, she had "Sampling the source", "Shambling Specimans" and " Mischievous Spirits" quests available for pickup.....which means I already completed "A Curious Contagion" years ago.

Hope this helps people that are stuck at the same point I was, try going to Highmountain and checking in with Aelthalyste.

PS: I tried to run the script below that someone posted to check quest progression but nothing happened.
/run for k,v in pairs({A=45343,B=45344,C=45346,D=45345,E=45347,F=45348,G=45349,H=45350,I=45342,J=46145,K=46034,})do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "Done\124r" or "\124cffff0000Need\124r")) end

A Curious Contagion

Find Aelthalyste in Highmountain.

Description

It has been brought to my attention that a rather curious contagion is spreading through a small coastal region within Highmountain.

The local tribes have abandoned the area for fear of catching this ailment that currently has no known cure.

One of our own was traveling through the area when her companion fell ill. She has requested the Conclave's assistance. Seek her out, High Priest, and do whatever you can to stop this sickness from spreading.
