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.

  • 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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Allens' Storm CellarGilneas · Level 1-20

    Lord Godfrey is leading the attack near the Forsaken's landing area. See what you can do to help us keep the Forsaken back. I've been told Godfrey has commandeered the storm cellar in the Allen Farmstead, far to the west. Seek him there.
