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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Speak with GrammaElwynn Forest · Level 1-30

    Please, <name>, talk with my Gramma. If anyone can find a way to bring me together with Maybell, she can. She's inside our house east of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Collecting KelpElwynn Forest · Level 1-30

    I can make an invisibility liquor for Maybell, so she can slip away from the Maclure Vineyards and go to Tommy Joe. But to make the liquor, I need some crystal kelp. Although the kelp usually grows in the ocean... sometimes murlocs collect it. See if the murlocs near Crystal Lake have any.
