I'm reading one, but nothing happens - no credit or anything...

edit: ok, blizzard is messing with us. There are plaques to read and there are PLAQUES to read. The ones you need are tan small rectangles with the quest sparkle. The other ones are for some lore but don't help with progress.

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.

  • A Stroll Through a CemeteryLevel 50

    Our next stop is in Drustvar. There, along with some help, we shall identify and extract the body of a Kul Tiran war hero. With his aid, we will learn much of the Kul Tiran fleet. Enough to break it with ease. We shall meet you outside Barrowknoll Cemetery. Do try not to waste time, would you?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • State of UnrestLevel 50

    There is one thing you should know about ghosts, <name>. They are a mockery of the dead. Spirits, holding on although they have no hope. In that form, they shall never truly live again. Not as long as they keep haunting our world.
