Description

I used to fish with my mother at the local pond when I was a child. It wasn't the fish that made the experience--my mother was famously terrible at cooking--but the tranquility and bonding time. Perhaps I could find a portion of that peace again here. There's a spot south of Mereldar that the others use to fish. I'll meet you there!

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.

  • Dereliction of DutyHallowfall · Level 75-78

    A moment, if you have one. One of my lieutenants, Shinda Creedpike, did not report in at first bonfire. That may not seem like a large issue to you, but the Arathi in Hallowfall survive only because we follow orders and stand for our brethren. I am not cruel.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • BurnoutHallowfall · Level 75-78

    Please return to Commander Dawnsurge and give them my sincere apologies for my absence. I will submit myself for punishment for my trespass after my shift.
