What to do

StorylineThe Storm Peaks, step 15 of 113
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

There is something that I could use a hand with now that I have you. We have a few scouts that are extremely late in returning. The peaks are harsh... but these boys know what they're doing. Head to the east... along the Bor's Breath valley and near Bor's Fall... they should be out that direction. If you find any sign of one of them, bring me back news immediately. We have a few enemies in the area - if any of them are getting a bit uppity, the more warning the better.

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.

  • Offering ThanksThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Ah! Thanks for coming up here, lad. Judging by your wide eyes and shivering hands, I'd venture a guess that you're somewhat new. Sounds like it would be good for you to meet our gracious hosts then! We've got some extra medical supplies...

  • Loyal CompanionsThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Fresh blood! Good to meet ya! I've got some work if you've got some time. Off to the east are the Foot Steppes... pretty hard land, but there's quite a group of rhino that graze there.
