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.

  • Sage Highmesa is MissingBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    There are many new mysteries walking the lands now. One of our sages, Highmesa, has foolishly gone north with only one longrunner to investigate something strange near the Dens of Dying. What are the dens, you ask? They are a sacred place to the magnataur, where they go in their old age to die.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stop the PlagueBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I'm convinced that the plague is being caused by something in the caves up there. <class>, I want you to take these seeds. I normally use them as a ward against the Scourge, though perhaps they can be used to disrupt whatever foulness is happening in the dens.
