Combustible Contagion

Combustible Contagion is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-45 in Stormheim. It is step 2 of 8 in The Secret of the Shieldmaidens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormheim at 71.5, 59.8. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

It is true that we may have a lead on Sylvanas. Though I want nothing more than to get my hands on the Banshee Queen, the situation here at Greywatch requires immediate attention.

Yesterday, a regiment of guards returned with word of Forsaken forces in the woods. Several of them bore signs of a blight, similar to the one we endured in Gilneas. It would appear these Forsaken seek to unleash this blight upon Greywatch.

Seek out their caches and destroy them, before the blight overtakes us!

Go out the town's southwest gate, up a hill to the right a bit and curve around to [74.5, 58.3]. Use your [item=127295] that was given by the questgiver on the banner at that location. You may have to kill a mob. Do the same thing up a dark rocky hill to [72.6, 60.7]. The last one is nearby at [73.5, 63.1], southeast of town (the "eastern cache").

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Catch a BansheeStormheim · Level 10-45

    The strange-talking vrykul said I might be able to meet you here. I have orders from Greymane. It seems he may have a lead on Sylvanas' location. He's set up a camp near the base of the mountain. We've run into some troubles, though. It looks like the Horde may have homed in on our position.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Whispers from the DarkStormheim · Level 10-45

    We still have little knowledge of the Horde's activities in the region, but I'm hoping you can help change that. Lately the woods have been crawling with Sylvanas' agents. The few we have taken out carried orders from her Dark Rangers, who are no doubt in command of her forces here.
