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 quest's prerequisites.

  • Crystal FuryHighmountain · Level 10-45

    A drogbar stonecaster known as Gelmogg entered our sacred water caverns and aims to draw its power into himself. We must destroy him before he gets too powerful. He is in the upper caverns.

  • Balance of ElementsHighmountain · Level 10-45

    The drogbar place their foul crystals in our cave to absorb the magic within, and then they collect them when they are saturated with power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Underking ComesHighmountain · Level 10-45

    Here, I'm too slow to get these laggards to safety. Take my horn and sound the evacuation. We need to get the people out of here before the drogbar arrive. The warbraves can take it from there. For now just send them over to Spiritwalker Ebonhorn. That fool can watch over them until it is safe.
