The Illidari-Bane questline is a series of quests that leads to some cool anti-demon weapons. It involves entering many level-70 instances, so you probably want to do the prerequisites before then. David Wayne is also rumored to be Mograine of the Ashbringer.

What to do

StorylineShadowmoon Valley, step 47 of 147

Description

With a larger supply of this material, we might be able to forge a weapon for you to use. The two pit lords at Legion Hold, Makazradon and Morgroron, have already been equipped with these anti-demon weapons. We have no way of knowing how many more the Legion intends to produce, but if we can capture these prototypes, there should be enough for our project. <Ordinn grins.> There's a certain amount of satisfaction in using the Legion's own 'secret weapons' against them, don't you think?

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.

  • Illidari-Bane ShardShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The shard appears to be a piece of a larger weapon. Sharp-looking runes etched into the metal glow with a menacing light. The weapon's intended purpose isn't clear to you, but it's hard to ignore.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hermit SmithShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    <Ordinn examines the results from his attempt at smithing the metal and shakes his head.> This is beyond my ability, but that's not to say the weapon can't be recreated for your use. There was a talented smith who accompanied the Sons of Lothar to Draenor, David Wayne.
