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.

  • The Writ of HistoryThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    The Rattle of Bones is a part of shu'halo ancient myth. It is always connected with the Writ of History and the Drums of War. They are supposed to be powerful tauren artifacts; gifts from the Earth Mother if the tales are to be believed. I cannot imagine Her being connected with the drums, though.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Drums of WarThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    Whatever the Grimtotem are doing with these Drums of War, we don't want them to have them. Don't worry, <name>, we'll figure it all out. But first, we need to gather all of the pieces of the puzzle.
