A Surprising Investigation Quest

Find the 5 Impostors
- Maru, around /way 61.83, 50.12
- Big Kinook (next to Moira, around /way 62.92, 49.71)
- Lorewalker Cho, around /way 61.63, 51.1
- Reshad, on the Fashion Stage, around /way 63.05, 49.18
- Jepetto Joybuzz, near the Story stage, around /way 63.81, 51.72

You have to tell them that they are in the wrong timeline. Then go back to Detective Jones who will ask you to Distribute Letters. You have to click on the item on your bag and next to the people:

- Shademaster Kiryn /way 61.84, 50.4
- Petra /way 61.97, 50.13
- Jepetto Joybuzz /way 62.17, 49.72
- Vanni Thorngage /way 62.84, 49.41
- Koltira Deathweaver and Lord Thessarian /way 62.96, 49.23
- Moira Thaurissan /way 62.97, 49.60
- Arcanist Valtrois and Stellagosa /way 63.36, 49.6
- Lilian Voss /way 63.14, 49.45

(these are examples, there is more people)

After that, you need to get a Lucky Feast => Go to Bonenose /way 60.71, 44.79
He will send you to Wavestrider Beach to Althelton Jones /way 65.81, 41.8
Then you can validate to Alyx, who is now "Celebrated Volunteer Finally recognized for Their Work", on the beach (/way 66.19, 40.96) and get the achievement I Saved the Party and All I Got Were These Lousy Hats

Athelton Jones gives you the quest "A Surprising Investigation", in which you have to identify 5 imposters.

Imposter #1 - Reshad

The imposter Reshad is on the Fashion Frenzy stage at 63.04, 49.24.

Imposter #2 - Maru

The imposter Maru is at the Pet Playground area at 61.91, 49.90.

Imposter #3 - Lorewalker Cho

The imposter Lorewalker Chop is outside of the ice rink at 61.65, 51.05.

Imposter #4 - Jepetto Joybuzz

The imposter Jepetto Joybuzz is outside of the Story Time at 63.79, 51.76.

Imposter #5 - Big Kinook

The imposter Big Kinook is outside of the Dark Iron Mole Miner at 63.02, 49.86.

The order of imposters does NOT matter, you can get them in any order.

/way #71 63.04, 49.24 Reshad - Imposter
/way #71 61.91, 49.90 Maru - Imposter
/way #71 61.65, 51.05 Lorewalker Cho - Imposter
/way #71 63.79, 51.76 Jepetto Joybuzz - Imposter
/way #71 63.02, 49.86 Big Kinook - Imposter
/way #71 61, 50.72 Athelton Jones

When you return to Athelton Jones, he'll have you hand out 10 letters. These are basically a small AoE targeted cast, just toss them at most named NPCs to get your 10.

Finally, Detective Jones has you go obtain a "Lucky Feast". Go to Bonenose in Tanaris at 60.91, 44.73 to pick up the feast.

/way #71 60.91, 44.73 Bonenose

He'll send you to the Northern Beach, which is in Tanaris at 65.82, 41.76.

/way #71 65.82, 41.76 Athelton Jones

Talk to Athelton Jones, then see Alyx nearby at 66.21, 40.94 to complete the quest and the achievement!

/way #71 66.21, 40.94 Alyx

Description

Well, look who's back to solve more cases. It seems that Chromie has been fiddling with time again and some imposters have popped up around the celebration area. All you need to do is identify who doesn't belong and send them to Chromie. This should be a breeze for you.
