I got really frustrated trying to do this quest because I kept trying to click the icon next to the quest in my quest objectives list and nothing was happening. Finally realized that, unlike 99% of all other quest item mechanics, you have to click it from within your bag instead of just clicking the icon in your quest list.

You need to use quest item on the (Bladeguard Kaja) mob near the questgiver

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Freshly SqueezedVol'dun · Level 30-60

    Is this troll a friend of yours? I'm so glad Kiro let me keep her. He's a bit wary of outsiders, but he's a great healer. She'll wake up, I promise. And when she does, she'll be thirsty. The sands are short on water, but you're in luck. The grove that surrounds this camp is filled with pricklevines.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Searching for SurvivorsVol'dun · Level 30-60

    It is good to see you are safe, but what of de others? Have dey been lost to de sands? You need to head back to de crash site and see if de others survived. I will ask around and see if these fox people can tell us anything about Rakera.
