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.

  • Beating the OddsThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    At first, the Slitherscale were too frightened to approach the wild serpents. Then, I caught them snatching the eggs under the cover of night. Now, they are slaughtering adults and hatchlings alike! If we do not do something, these gentle creatures will be completely wiped out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Egg CollectionThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    Ahhh, I should have known! You have the look of a hungry initiate. I would gladly help you choose a serpent egg, but the Slitherscale have thoroughly raided the cloud serpent nests. I'm terribly sorry. I don't know what to tell you.
