Quest Log

A Dark, Glaring Reality

A Dark, Glaring Reality is a quest for level 50, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

Their eyes are upon us, <name>, watching every move from the shadows. It is no wonder our efforts thus far have felt... lacking.

The fault is by no means your own. We should have suspected this was the case long ago.

If we are to continue our efforts with meaningful expectations we must go undetected.

Our old friend has offered an elixir to aide in exposing our enemy. While there may be a few... unknown side effects, the result provides the imbiber true sight in the darkness.

This is an absolute fail from blizzard.I took the potion but there was a group of 5 in the vision.They ran around tagging everything in site even the quest mob.How did blizzard not see this coming.How do you put a quest in a timed even inside and instance that many other people can get in to as well and let them group.I give up on World of Warcraft this is just getting old.

Didn't find a single mob the entire time I was in the vision, drank the potion multiple times, but spent most of my time trying to stay away from this hugely OP rare mob who paths right through the middle of the area you're supposed to work. Ended up failing and wasting the quest. Great job, blizz.

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.
