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.

  • And Justice For AllDrustvar · Level 20-60

    Thank you for helping to redeem me in the eyes of my people, <class>. I am in your debt, and I will be sure to let my father know. In the mean time, I think we should find out what this Heartsbane Coven is, and what they are doing in our lands. I hope the marshal will be able to enlighten us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Yeti to RumbleDrustvar · Level 20-60

    It would seem that the guard have been lax in patrolling the Highroad Pass. The mountain yetis have taken advantage of their absence, and now lie directly in our path. I am no soldier, <class>, so I will need to ask that you take care of them while I try to sneak past.

The storyline at a glance

Alpine Rise has 8 steps, from And Justice For All to The Order of Embers.
