Making Trails is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 9 of 17 in The Dreamgrove storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Val'sharah at 41.4, 27.0. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

The Burning Legion threatens the life of Azeroth, but the nightmare threatens its very soul. We must remove both threats if our world is to survive.

This map will allow us to track the developments all across the Broken Isles and respond to threats as they arise. Our forces are limited for now, so we should focus our efforts where they will be the most effective.

Once you've taken a look, you should choose where we shall begin.

So if I completed the entire region (all 4 zones) during Legion Remix, do I have to finish all of them again on my druid campaign (to unlock the Stonepaw shapeshift appearance)?
