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.

  • Into the ColiseumLevel 60

    The time of your challenge has come! As you are not a being of Bastion, you shall act as a tactician for your soulbinds. You have developed mighty bonds between each other... let us see how they handle the coliseum. Let me know when you are ready to begin. Show us the merit of your bonds!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sourcing Your Own MaterialsLevel 60

    I can aid you in crafting many pieces of equipment for your soulbinds. Though they may only equip one at a time, each piece grants a new ability that they may not have without it. This time you must source your own materials from around the Shadowlands.
