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.

  • Be More UniformLevel 50

    Head into the foundry. Proudmoore's guards have taken over there. They will provide excellent accessories for our disguises. I can recreate their faces, but without the clothing, we won't make it far. Gather enough gear to cover us. We'll need the Captain's jacket as well.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Catching a RideLevel 50

    Nathanos should have found a boat by now. Let us hasten to meet him in the harbor. It behooves us to take care of this business quickly. There are better ways for us to support the Horde's effort here.
