<name>! I was on my way when it happened.

No time to waste. A good half of the town watch was in the area that collapsed. Get in there and save as many as you can.

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.

  • EvacuationGilneas · Level 1-20

    We've escaped death through dumb luck, <name>. But luck is running out. The coast is becoming flooded even as we speak. And from the look of it, the landmass beneath us hasn't quite settled yet. I hate to say this, but we have to leave. Curses, <name>....
