Quest Log

Hard Times

Hard Times is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 5 of 33 in the Legion Tailoring storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azsuna at 60.0, 34.7. It rewards 6,150 experience.

Description

When I worked at the tailoring guild in Suramar, I would usually work off of a pattern. Something that inspired me.

Unfortunately, I've run into streak of bad luck, and I'm ashamed to say that I no longer have my patterns.

The naga sorceresses in the lagoon to the west, however, have expertly-sewn wristwraps. And the nightfallen to the north wear robes that we can use... if you can pry one from their greedy clutches.

Rewards

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.

  • Runic CatgutLevel 10-45

    Let me guess... thread troubles? Mm-hm. I suspected as much. My people weave sumptuous silks, but those silks can be fickle about the types of thread they'll accept. Shal'dorei silk has a bit of ley energy woven right into it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • So You Think You Can SewLevel 10-45

    Very good, I think we're ready to begin. <Lyndras steals a glance at your powerful weapon. A look of hunger washes over his face before he shakes it off and continues.> Let's prepare our materials and make the robe and bracers that you so rightfully deserve!

The storyline at a glance

Legion Tailoring has 33 steps, from Sew It Begins to Inspire Me!.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (21), Suramar (6), Azsuna (4), Stormheim (1).
