Network Diagnostics

Network Diagnostics is a quest for level 50. It is step 6 of 6 in the Return of the Black Prince storyline, the final step. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 850 experience and money.

Description

Unfortunately, we've got no clue where N'Zoth has been lurking since his escape. We do, however have an idea where he might strike.

Back when the keepers were imprisoning the Old Gods, they built defense mechanisms against their corruption into the titan forges. If N'Zoth wants tae corrupt Azeroth, he'll have tae go through them first.

Fortunately, we've got ourselves hooked up tae them now, so we can monitor them from here. Go ahead an' take a look.

Just a reminder that step #4 and #15 are scenarios that can be skipped on alts. For #4, talk to Bran after he gives you the quest. For #15, talk to Ra-Den.
