It is worth mentioning that WoW's default quest tracker shows this quest being turned in at the cave. However, the quest is *actually* turned in at the middle of the camp just south of the flightmaster.

Could be confusing if you arrived from the opposite direction over mountains or by flying.

StorylineStonetalon Mountains, Horde, step 14 of 32
Rewards2,050 XP

Description

Honor's Stand has been lost. The Horde's grip on the Barrens shattered along with the land itself. I now receive reports that we are at risk of losing Malaka'jin to a concerted attack by the Alliance and the Grimtotem. If Malaka'jin falls, half of Stonetalon falls with it! You have proven yourself a capable soldier of the Horde. Will you be my eyes and ears at Malaka'jin? Witch Doctor Jin'Zil awaits your arrival. Malaka'jin is located far to the south.

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.

  • In Defense of Krom'gar FortressStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    There's no time left. Here they come! Take control of a heavy gun and shoot the gnomes out of the sky! If that bomb takes too many hits it will blow, taking us all with it! Defend the base, <name>! You're our only hope! If we somehow make it out of this in one piece, report to Overlord Krom'gar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Da Voodoo: Stormer HeartStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    With voodoo, our troops might have a chance at beating back the Grimtotem assault. With that said, I need several ingredients if I am to invoke black magic. The first ingredient on my list is a heart from a cliff stormer.
