What to do

StorylineDuskwood, step 7 of 42
RewardsNight Watcher's Mail, Signet of the Night Watch, Watch Master's Breastplate, 10g 50s, 5,150 XP

Description

There's even fouler undead left to deal with, {name}. Tranquil Gardens Cemetery, further south of town, is a place you don't want to be caught in at night. The bones that rise from the ground there are cunning enough to remember how to swing an axe or cast a spell. I shouldn't need to explain how dangerous that makes them. Proceed with caution, but remember the people of Darkshire that will suffer if you falter.

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.

  • The Night WatchDuskwood · Level 10-30

    I'm afraid you're all I've got to help here, <name>. Stormwind's forces are so taxed by greater evils that they can't spare a single footman to protect Darkshire. It's up to me and the rest of the Night Watch to keep our homes safe. There's more threats here than just wolves, unfortunately.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seasoned Wolf KabobsDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Seasoned wolf kabobs are a house favorite! Sure, I can make you some. But first I'll need the supplies. Bring me five wolf skirt steaks. The dire wolves near the river north of town are good to hunt; I wouldn't stray too far into the woods if I were you.
