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.

  • Justice from AboveMaldraxxus · Level 60

    Our forces above cannot fully descend upon this area while the Margrave's crystals cover the sky in destructive blasts. The Margrave's foul butchers work even now to extract the remaining anima from the kyrian they abducted in their assault on Bastion. We must advance at once.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DescendedMaldraxxus · Level 60

    Though we have stopped the creation of more juggernauts, one of their most vile creations yet draws breath. It was born of one of the most pained souls they took from my temple in Bastion. As I flew above their ranks I could hear their surgeons chanting its name above the din of combat--Woeblade.
