Quest Log

Clearing the Way (Alliance)

Clearing the Way is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Bloodmyst Isle. It is step 20 of 38 in the Bloodmyst Isle storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bloodmyst Isle at 30.7, 46.8. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 5,150 experience.

Description

Only the most battle hardened, noble and positively fearless will submit to Legoso's mission. The exarch will not order any agent of the Hand to take on the task of destroying the Vector Coil and dispatching Sironas. He refuses to send any draenei to their death - which is what the mission is: suicide...

<Corin sighs.>

My job is to soften up the Sunhawk defenses. You are to slay Sunhawks near the Vector Coil and keep the path clear for our champion - whoever that may be.

Vector Coil is at 23,54
And reason why this quest is elite and lv20 is because the Blood Elf mobs that you have to kill are elites and at lv19 they are not easy to solo with a shaman. Two at a time is what you will be usually having to try and kill.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vindicator's RestBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30

    I would not ask you to single-handedly bear the burden of destroying the Vector Coil and slaying Sironas, <name>; however, I believe that you can be of some help in clearing the way for others that might take on such a dangerous assignment.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Oh, the Tangled Webs They WeaveBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30

    We don't dare abandon our post, or wander too far from Vindicator's Rest, <race>. The mutated creatures closest to the Vector Coil have been changed profoundly by energy leaking from the crystals. The mutated tanglers appear to have gained a certain degree of sentience.
