Alternative 1: [npc=161964]: Prio in this order (even though the order seems backwards): [pet-ability=1954] > [pet-ability=2349] > [pet-ability=445] until Anomalus dies. Finish with any decent magic pets.

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.
