What to do

StorylineNetherstorm, step 44 of 103
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

There is something else that I want your help with. A group of ethereals, known as the Zaxxis, have cut their relationship with the Consortium and gone into business for themselves. They've even cut deals with the Sunfury blood elves. This will not be tolerated! I infiltrated their group at the Heap to the south. But after I took out their leader, I had to escape here to Area 52. {class}, go down there and bring back their insignias. Of course, not all wear them because they're cowards.

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.

  • Consortium Crystal CollectionNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Our leader, Nexus-Prince Haramad, has tasked me with the acquisition of a crystal artifact from the Arklon Ruins to the southeast. They're old draenei ruins. Unfortunately for both myself and the goblins here, the Burning Legion has decided to move in to perform their own excavation.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Warp-Raider NesaadNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Warp-Raider Nesaad must be dealt with! I have no idea how he survived my attack, but he cannot be allowed to continue his operation out there. Go back and take out Nesaad. He keeps a small ethereal camp near the southwestern corner of the Heap. Don't fail like I did, <class>.
