Getting a Clue

Getting a Clue is an Alliance-only quest for level 50. It is step 4 of 7 in the My Brother's Keeper storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tiragarde Sound at 80.1, 75.0. It rewards 8,500 experience and money.

Description

I'm betting that one page of jibberish is a coded message. We can send it back to Stormwind to be cracked by our codebreakers or we could break some heads and find the cipher here.

I'm thinking we'll just save some time and do that.

The guy in charge here probably has what we're looking for. Why don't you take him out and see if you can't find it. Even if you don't, without a leader the loyalists won't be much trouble. It's a win-win!

Well, for us I guess.

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.

  • Correspondence ConundrumLevel 50

    I think Ashvane has been in contact with her loyalists, but I don't know what their orders are. Go into their camp and see if you can't read their mail. We might find something that leads back to where Lady Ashvane is hiding or what their next move is going to be.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reporting In!Level 50

    Well it looks like Ashvane's been out of contact for some time but this 'Patron' thing could be a problem. You did excellent work today, <name>. Those Loyalists aren't going to be thinking about causing trouble for awhile, heh. I'll make my way back. You take the letter to the High Commander.

The storyline at a glance

My Brother's Keeper has 7 steps, from Loose Ends to My Brother's Keeper.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Tiragarde Sound (5), Boralus (2).
