Friends Above (Alliance)

Friends Above is an Alliance-only quest for level 40. It is step 2 of 4 in The Search for Iskar storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tanaan Jungle at 25.8, 38.9. It rewards 675 experience and money.

Description

Iskar disappeared and now the Shadow Council is at our throats. These can't be unrelated events. We need to go to the last place he was seen, the ruins of Kra'nak.

I've asked a friend to set up a camp nearby. I say we head there to continue our search.

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.

  • Garrison Campaign: In the ShadowsLevel 40

    I need your help. Iskar has gone missing. I have reason to believe he has followed the remnants of the Sethekk who have been gathering here in Tanaan. I've been investigating and... what was that? <Reshad's voice drops to a whisper> There is movement in the shadows, we are being watched!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Get a ClueLevel 40

    Aktar mentioned that in the ruins he's seen Sethekk, ogres, even demons, but no sign of Iskar. We're going to have to go in there if we're to find any clues and I'd prefer someone strong like yourself to lead the way. Well, what do you say?
