Description

{name}, we need intel, and we need it now. Somewhere within one of the djaradin's encampments, you will find their field general. He is a seasoned and formidable opponent, responsible for many attacks on our forces. According to our field agents, he may possess crucial military orders outlining their next offense and the locations of their new supply lines. It is imperative that we obtain these orders. We cannot allow the djaradin to gain the upper hand.

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.

  • Thinning Their DefensesZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    The Firecallers are a formidable force. Their powerful, lethal magic allows them to vaporize anything that comes near them. Their strategic positioning on high ledges makes them difficult to reach, but we cannot allow them to continue causing destruction among our forces.

  • Air SuperiorityZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    <As Ignax looks up, you see a small smile appear on his face.> Few of my soldiers have experience fighting alongside dragons. What a glorious day. Their presence gives us confidence, <class>. Now we must put an end to the djaradin's advance once and for all.
