Don't make the same mistake I did. The quest item has a click function and will give you a cursor like what you get when you do the old BC bombing quests. It'll look like it's supposed to have a target underneath it and you're supposed to aim it somewhere.

You're not.

You're just supposed to put it on three orbs coordinates posted above.
The orbs will be sparkly and have gear wheels when you mouse over them.

So if you do what i did, and click the quest item, don't freak out when it doesn't let you do anything.

What to do

StorylineIcecrown, step 116 of 167
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The Fleshwerks is a vast operation, and it will be difficult to keep an eye on all that transpires there. Fortunately, I have a plan. <Arly produces an orb from the folds of her cloak and shows it to you.> This is a death's gaze orb. With it, we can observe the Scourge's actions and decide how best to strike. Place these orbs on the stands at three crucial areas -- the abomination lab and the flesh giant lab to the southwest, along with the area surrounding the green cauldron far to the west.

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.

  • Destroying the AltarsIcecrown · Level 25-30

After this quest

  • Spill Their BloodIcecrown · Level 25-30

    The Scourge cannot create their flesh monsters without blood and embalming fluid to preserve the parts and keep them functioning. If we can deny them these materials, their army will fall apart and we can easily destroy their creations.
