Description

Greetings, young one. Your companions cannot see me. Only you, for you have been trained in the ways of a shaman.

The shadow energies of this island have ensnared my pack. I need your aid to free them.

Gather veil blossoms from the surrounding area. Burn them on the campfire and breath deep of their smoke.

Then you will be able to see my packmates and release them from their bonds.

I am not sure if I missed something, but all the spirits around the ghost wolves are human as in Stormwind-looking human, not Kul'Tiran. I found this curious. Is this explained further in other class quests at this point, commentary on humans being inherently linked to the nastiness of necrotic energy, or ___? haha - I don't know... it just caught my attention.

One mildly interesting thing to note is that anytime the buff dispels for even a second, the spirits all randomize again. One second you've got a blood elf staring at you in the group and the next a tauren is standing in his spot.

And it does tend to dispel itself randomly for no reason, probably a phasing issue. Walking too far in one direction (even towards the quest goals) tends to do it for me.

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.

  • A Warlock's BargainExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    While you were mowing down hordes of undead, I was scouting more of the area with Lindie's device. I saw what looked like a portal out near the bridge, along with the corpse of a warlock we thought was lost in the shipwreck. Think you can go investigate the area and try to close that portal?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Monk's FocusExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    You fought well against the harpies, but we all need to become stronger to face what lies ahead. The first step is to find a nice place to meditate and focus yourself. A monk is only as strong as they are focused. Come. I know of such a place.
