Curses & Cultists

Description

The wheat has been separated from the chaff. Now the fun can truly begin.

I have an exciting... field trip... planned for our students. But they are not yet ready. Take my grimoire and have the pandaren, zandalari, and tauren try their hand at curses.

I found some uninvited guests loitering on the edges of our fairground. They should make excellent, if unwilling, test subjects.

Oman will have the honor of summoning the group far afield, and I will instruct him as such.

This quest is your last chance to question Madam Shadow repeatedly to unlock the grimoire of felfrost imp pet customisation.
You will be teleported to fight her beast in the PvP Arena, for higher levels it's a trivial fight,
To exit the Arena talk to the imp.

It's worth noting if you forget to question Madam Shadow, but do the quest on another Warlock and unlock the appearance, you can then return to the Arena when the Faire is up and the book will be in the middle of the arena, simply enter the arena and loot it. So don't despair if you missed this step.

That is every comment on this page.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Those Who HesitateDarkmoon Island · Level 30-70

    Hm. There is one who has been counted amongst our number, but is not here. The draenei. <Madam Shadow inhales.> I can taste the Light about him. Go, see to it that he rejoins us. There is much work to be done.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fel SuspicionsDarkmoon Island · Level 30-70

    At the risk of stating the obvious, something very wrong is going on. I know you feel it too. Madam Shadow is sending myself and the other initiates to the Altar of Storms, to try our hand at summoning demons.
