Do not go through Orgrimmar. Walk/fly around, since the NPCs are hostile. If you fill adventurous, mount up because the NPCs are not tagged as horde, i.e. no horde guards to dismount you and you can either ride away, fly away, or just stay and have fun.

That is every comment on this page.

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.

  • Strategic DeploymentLevel 50

    Saurfang maintains that the key to taking Orgrimmar is to exploit its multiple points of entry. He led the city's defenses for years, and knows its vulnerabilities better than anyone. We are spread thin as it is, but I trust his judgment in this matter.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Price of VictoryWar Campaign - Alliance · Level 50

    Saurfang... how could this have happened.... <Jaina takes a moment to compose herself.> The Alliance has known High Overlord Saurfang as both a sworn enemy and an invaluable ally. Anduin will want to honor his memory. Recall our forces and inform them of what has happened.
