Description

The damn mogu hit us out of nowhere! Anyone they don't kill on sight is being dragged away into the woods. This is the only safehouse, and its all I can do to hold the door. What do you say, friend? Are you willing to stand up and fight for the weak?

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.

  • Flying ColorsThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    The Rumpus was your final test. You have mastered the disciplines taught at this monastery. Just as your training began with a banquet, so shall it end. High Elder Cloudfall should be waiting at the banquet grounds. I'll be right behind you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rally the SurvivorsThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    The people of this village are simple farmers - not fighters like you and I. Still, they are stubbornly defending their homes as best they can. Search the village for anyone still on their feet and tell them to rally here at Hanae's place.
