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.

  • Zero Xuks GivenGorgrond · Level 15-40

    The spirits have spoken to me. They believe the magnaron, Gro the Uncreator, will join our fight and lead his underlings against the Iron Horde. This is an honor beyond any bestowed upon a Laughing Skull, at least in my time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cauterizing WoundsGorgrond · Level 15-40

    You have saved my most precious companion, Nisha. I owe you a great debt. The Iron Horde lured me away to separate us. I shall not make the same mistake again. They have inflicted grievous wounds, and I fear we must cause her even more pain before the healing process can begin.
