A New Approach

A New Approach is a quest for level 80-90. It is step 1 of 4 in the Considering an Alternative storyline, the opening step. It rewards 23,550 experience and money.

Description

For this threat, you'll need to think more like the domanaar. Luckily, I can do just that.

What we need is a puppet. Someone we can give the reins who has no aspirations for your precious Azeroth. Those new domanaar you saw will need evaluation.

Take this veil. You'll be able to blend in and observe them. I understand your urge to strike, but be patient. The time will come to eliminate all in your path, as your kind seems to enjoy.

See if you can find a proper candidate.

Rewards

This quest takes place in Val. It has no map markers and appears under the generic "Void Assaults" category so I personally had forgotten. You don't have to be in a particular place in Val to put on the disguise. Once you do, a map marker will appear where Projection of Periculus can be questioned, right next to the Void Acropolis flight point you set up in the Spatial Reasoning quest line.

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.

    The domanaar Impotus sounds like he can be persuaded to set his sights elsewhere. Speaking with them directly will be challenging. They are distrustful, even of one another, as you can see from their projection devices. We must set a trap.
