StorylineDustwallow Marsh, step 5 of 83
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Dustwallow is Horde territory, {name}. The humans may have their little island and their precious sand bar, but the marsh belongs to us. In time, we will surely win this stalemate with the humans. For now, we must master our own territory. The withervine bog beasts to the north rise from the marsh itself to attack any living thing that approaches. If we own this marsh, we must not let our own land fight back against us! Slay the bog beasts, if you wish to serve the Horde. You will be rewarded.

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.

  • The End of the DesertersDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Now that we've eliminated the deserters from Theramore, it's time to complete this operation. My local contacts have reported that the deserters base their operations in a ship moored on a small island to the southeast of the docks.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Darkmist ExterminationDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    The spiders that occupy Darkmist Cavern to the northwest are another vicious threat to us here. They are nothing the ogres cannot handle, but splitting our attention to them when Theramore's forces lurk nearby is a deadly mistake.
