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.

    Okay, the Technoscryers should be calibrated. I have made the same adjustments to my own pair, so we can view the same phenomena. Are you ready? Put... them on... again! This time, we will use the Observation mode.

    Hope you brought your boots, 'cause this is gonna be a wet one! This river carries artifacts down from the mountains, and they wash up here in the silt. The centaur have found loads of stuff here over the years.
