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.

  • Real Big PowerLevel 50

    We're still building a harness for the Embiggifier, but we need to test its core first. That's where the real power is! This technology is years ahead of the Horde's, but it's so easy to use that even an orc could do it! Just point and click!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Out of OptionsLevel 50

    My kind are hunted like animals. We've tried to reach a resolution through civil discourse, but these poachers recoil from rational thought. They revel in brutality. I ask you, <name>: Who are the real animals? It pains me to descend to their level, but I fear I've exhausted all other options.
