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.

  • I Dreamed A DreamBastion · Level 60

    This is quite a ceremony, everyone is here. This ritual is essential to the recreation of the Crest of Ascension and the preservation of Bastion. We owe the Winter Queen and Willowblossom a great debt. Someday, I hope we can repay them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Heart of the CrestBastion · Level 60

    With this greatest of gifts from Ardenweald, we have the final piece to rebuild the Crest of Ascension. Let us make certain Willowblossom's sacrifice is not in vain.
