Description

If you've made it this far then you probably know about the Dead Scar and how to this day mindless Scourge follow the path of destruction that Arthas created on his way to Silvermoon City. Make yourself useful and thin down the Scourge's numbers in the Scar. If you prove to be worth your salt I'll put in a good word for you.

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.

  • The Plagued CoastGhostlands · Level 1-30

    To find a cure for the plague we need to understand how it affects different creatures, from the most complex life forms to the lowliest subspecies. I've come here to study the murlocs since, like us, they've retained free will in undeath. What makes these lowly mongrels so special?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rotting HeartsGhostlands · Level 1-30

    I hear the Amani trolls eat their enemies' hearts to steal their strength. They might just be on to something, <name>. With the proper treatment, the hearts of the unliving can produce potent elixirs. Hunt down the zombies that roam the Dead Scar and bring me their hearts.
