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.

As you have no doubt noticed by now, the recent changes to the land have had many side-effects. Some of these are beneficial, while others pose serious problems. Just south of the village the local lobstrok are emerging from the sea and choking off the road to the village.
