Seems like a time-locked quest revolving around world quests, but you can do it in first minutes after reset. For anyone struggling to finish 100% of this quest just head to [npc=224729] located in Azj-Kahet main city at 55.8 42.2 , and buy anything worth 25-125 [currency=3056] and use it, it will show you a purple quest on the map and it grants you 10-20% and gives some [currency=3056] for completing it, so depends if it's infinitely repeatable you can farm [currency=3056] here too.

Also for the person who designed this quest: you need to be fired.
Cheers

Description

Even now, General Anub'azal's forces work tirelessly to ensure the security of Azj-Kahet. Ansurek's reach extends to every corner of her domain. The General seeks to undermine her military authority. If we stretch her resources thin, then we may find new opportunities to strike.

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.

Storyline

Underworld Operative

Part 2 of 3.

Previous: Eyes of the Weaver · Next: Hand of the Vizier

  1. 1Eyes of the Weaver
  2. 2Blade of the General
  3. 3Hand of the Vizier

Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.

Quest chain

  1. 1Unnamed step
  2. 2Blade of the General

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes of the WeaverLevel 80

    The Weaver's many eyes lurk throughout the city, learning as much as they can about Ansurek's machinations. Still, intelligence enough will not be sufficient to turn the tide against the Sureki forces. The Weaver requires someone willing to get their hands dirty. Lucky you, I suppose.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hand of the VizierLevel 80

    The Vizier works even now to spread our conspiracy's influence amongst the well-to-do of Azj-Kahet's elite. Given his position, though, he can offer little in the way of direct support. That is where you come in. Your growing reputation precedes you; you can move in ways that the Vizier cannot.

The storyline at a glance

Underworld Operative has 3 steps, from Eyes of the Weaver to Hand of the Vizier.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Azj-Kahet (3).
