Rewards20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

It looks like the elements aren't the only thing you'll need to worry about going up that path. Those harpoon launchers on the wall look pretty nasty, and unless we take them out first, they're likely to make short work of anyone trying to scale that path. They're up on top of the walls, so you'll need to use that grapple launcher to get to them. Just try not to end up drake food!

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.

  • To Weather the StormStormheim · Level 10-45

    When I was scouting this place out, I noticed the vrykul here are no strangers to the treacherous mountain path we're trying to get to. They've got some specialized equipment they're using, and if I were you I'd try to get my hands on some.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Another WayStormheim · Level 10-45

    Wait, do you still have that grapple launcher? I think you can still get to the path if you can launch from the top of that tower. The gap doesn't seem too bad there. Of course, we'll have to take out the big guy out front first. He looks tough, but I think we have a chance if we can flank him.
