Quest Log

Full Circle (Alliance)

Full Circle is an Alliance-only quest for level 30-35 in Shimmering Expanse. It is step 147 of 149 in the Vashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse storyline. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.

Description

We've located the beast that destroyed our ships. It makes its lair in Darkbreak Cove, a giant underwater cavern bordering the abyss.

This time we're ready. The gnomes have been engineering a beauty for us back at Stormwind, and it's packing firepower that'll make that fiend wet itself.

When the Pincer X2 pulls up to dock beside the ship, make your way on board and help out however you can. We'll be right behind you.

To complete the quest, you actually have to go in the porthole, walk to the right and down the walkways on the submarine and around and down to the captain's area. Sit with him and wait. . . you'll get the full quest completion then.

Warning:
sitting on the top of the sub
just inside the porthole
on the deck of the sub

these will not give you completion.

When the second ship docks, you want to get inside of the hull that's behind the safe-looking door. There's a tiny walkway to get behind it. Just be careful, at the bottom of the ship is a drop hole into the water. If you go out, you won't get credit for "Securing the Darkbreak Cove"

"but where is that 'Pincer' submarine everyone is talking about?"


  • The submarine is not always there, it will appear every 1-2 minutes.


  • The submarine will appear on the PORT side of the same ship you pick the quest up from.
    (PORT: when you're standing in the middle of the ship, and look to the bow(front) of the ship, port is on your LEFT side)
    on the same side a gnome is standing near the edge (a repair-vendor).


  • Pick up the quest, look port side, wait for about 1-2 minutes, and the submarine will appear.
    (you don't hear anything, but you'll get a red "yell" chat-line, and of course you'll see the big sub in front of you docking with your ship ;) )


  • Walk on board, enter the door on top, (walk around the little wall in the middle right behind the door) go downstairs, and then wait at the front porthole/window and enjoy the show :)
