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.

  • Under Lock and KeysLevel 50

    Three keys? It seems Sylvanas didn't trust any one member of this crew to have access to Proudmoore. We won't be able to rescue Derek Proudmoore if we can't get his cage open. We'll need to keep an eye out for keys while we clear the ship.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Bitter ReunionLevel 50

    We've done it! Zelling will guide the ship to Theramore, and we can put an end to this foul business once and for all. Speak to Zelling when you are ready to leave, and we will set sail.
