Description

Even I get hunted, {class}. But that's part of the fun of hiding amongst the sheep. <Garona studies you for a moment.> The Twilight's Hammer has taken it up a notch and sent their dark assassins after me. Nice for a group of dead guys. They're made from the souls of only the most skilled killers. Do me a favor? Hunt them down. They wear their souls in pendants about their necks. Bring them back to me. Souls optional.

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.

  • Just You and GaronaTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    That's a heavy blow to our efforts. Damn that Cho'gall! It's a good thing that the squad commander told you where to find Garona.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bring the Hammer DownTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    No foray into the field would be complete without a good old-fashioned take-the-bad-guys-out kind of mission. Between the citadel veterans, the corrupted elementalists, and the twilight vindicators, I'm sure you'll have plenty of targets. How you choose to kill them is up to you.
