StorylineRedridge Mountains, step 9 of 31
RewardsTroteman's Bracers, Hauberk of the Changing Heart, Vest of the Changing Heart, 4,100 XP

Description

<The gnomecorder clicks.> His gear alone won't be enough, {name}. His heart must also be in this battle. To capture that, we need items of sentimental value. The Blackrock orcs of Render's Camp, located in the north, hold two such items that belong to Keeshan. Get up there and search their coffers for Keeshan's headband and a jade amulet left to him by his wife - who was brutally killed during a Blackrock orc invasion. Bring them back to me should you succeed.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Weapons of WarRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    What I'm about to ask of you isn't going to be easy to accomplish, <name>. Keeshan left everything back there in that orc prison, and I'm not just talking about his soul or his will to live. If we're going to get Johnny ready for war, we need to recover his prized possessions.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Search of Bravo CompanyRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    If you and Keeshan are going to defend Lakeshire, we're going to need to find his old battalion. Last I heard all of 'em - Messner, Jorgensen, Krakauer and Danforth - were captured by the Blackrock orcs.
