I was in a party while doing this quest, separated from my party, and finished it quickly.
My party member killed probably a dozen and never got a thing.
He had to drop group, pick up the quest, then he was able to finish it.

It did not work simply to drop quest and pick it up again.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

We've fought the nerubians since we arrived, {name}. Their attacks have not risen to this level in a long time. These airship docks are clearly a target, but do they have any others? Is there a larger goal? The nerubians carry shadecasters with orders from their queen. We need to learn what we can of their plans and intentions, and recovering a few of those shadecasters is the best way we can do so.

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.

  • Rally on the DawnbreakerHallowfall · Level 75-78

    It's critical, with so many nerubians pouring through the Aegis Wall, that we defend our airships docked at Tenir's Ascent.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Siege Weapon SabotageHallowfall · Level 75-78

    <name>, if we're going to hold the nerubians back, we have to deal with their siege weapons. Around Tenir's Ascent, there are kegs of black powder to supply our ships for combat. Since the nerubians have caught these ships on the ground, let's put that powder to work.
