Description

I have downloaded my program to the fusion core and have complete control over it. I've created a small pocket of air inside to avoid vaporizing user {name}. I will yield control of all movement functions so I can dedicate my cycles to keeping the core stable. Go down the hill and neutralize as many of the expedition members as possible. My analysis reveals you might feel... "guilt" as a result of such high fatality numbers. User {name}, you must be assured that expedition members are without hope.

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.

  • The Push WestwardUldum · Level 30-35

    Our work is done here, <name>. Against all odds, we stopped the Neferset advance on Nahom. Let us join the forces pushing west, lest they take all the glory for themselves. They must've reached the outskirts of Neferset City by now.
