A Rogue specific Broken Shore quest, awards Antique Ravenholdt Dagger. I also received 50 Legionfall War Supplies, but I believe that was due to War Effort being active.

The Demon Hunter quest is Full Fel, which awards Reclaimed Ashtongue Feltome.

Other class specific AP rewards for as-yet unseen quests appear to be:

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.

Shadowblade, the demons are bringing in more hapless refugees from Suramar. You and your gallery of rogues must liberate them before they become fuel for the fel.


There are a small number of cages in the quest area. Prisoners respawn quickly. Pick locks to free withered [npc=104694]s. Disappointed that some cages could be opened by clicking on a gold cogwheel.

[item=147473] is just artifact power.
