I killed the 10 horde, and grabbed the flag, and it said I still needed to scout the battlescar.

I ran around mindlessly, but eventually got the quest completed when I went back to the flag and actually physically ran into it.

So if you're trying to get the scouting objective completely, physically run into the flag.

Hope this helps someone :)

Description

The Horde has fought us to a standstill from their stronghold west of here. The fighting continues, even as the land breaks open under our feet. Someone's got to break the stalemate! I need you to venture into the Battlescar and help my men crush the Horde opposition there. In the center of the scar you will find a flag marker designating who controls the area. Scout out the flag. It'll be worth your while to claim the scar for the Alliance if someone hasn't already done so.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Batteries Not Yet IncludedSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Okay! Using the spare parts you've found for me, I've got a framework roughed out for my versatile new assault vehicle. All I need now is a compact power supply. I've noticed that the indigenous wildlife here packs quite the punch, electrostatically speaking.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Working the Bugs OutSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Why high command decided that a silithid mound was the ideal place to build a fortress, I'll never know. Them lil' buggers are tunneling under our fortifications and setting back our timetables. We need to scorch 'em out!
