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.

  • Kill or Be KilledGilneas · Level 1-20

    The reefs have always protected us from a coastal attack. The earthquakes must've opened a passage for the Forsaken ships. Quick, <name>. Slow down the attackers while I get the rest of the militia ready. I think I can hear the Prince and some of our men engaging the Forsaken even as we speak.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • You Can't Take 'Em AloneGilneas · Level 1-20

    Look here, <name>. The big fat ones -- abominations, they're called -- they don't go down easy, so don't tackle them on your own. But I have an idea so crazy it might just work. Or it might get you killed, if we're not careful, I suppose.
