Expeditious Retreat

Expeditious Retreat is a quest for level 83-88 in Harandar. It is step 4 of 10 in the Emergence storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Eversong Woods at 62.3, 59.5. It rewards 12,150 experience and money.

Description

I have a way to stop the Lightbloom from spreading further through the forest, but it isn't exactly a delicate touch. Normally, I'd never dream of resorting to a controlled burn in such a healthy portion of Eversong... but the frenzy is spreading too quickly, and we are running out of options.

I've sounded the retreat to my Farstriders, but some of them haven't responded. I need you to find any rangers in particularly sticky situations, and lend your aid in securing their escape.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stem the TidesHarandar · Level 83-88

    When the Farstriders first discovered the Lightbloom, we thought it to be merely an aesthetic change--a small quirk of the Sunwell's influence. Would that we knew then what we know now. These Light-frenzied rootways must lead all the way back to Harandar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Last ResortEversong Woods · Level 83-88

    With our ground forces pulled back, our position will be overwhelmed in a matter of minutes. It's time to execute our gambit. Rommath and the Magisters have provided us a mana gem that can be used to overload Lash'ra's runestones. Take it, and infuse the stones with the mana contained therein.
