I was a bit confused as to how she got up there when we literally just accepted daily quests from her at Obelisk of the Moon.

Guessing this questline was pre-cursor to the Aqir invasion in Uldum

Feel like these questlines should've been active for a week or so before the invasions started

Description

I have one more thing I must ask of you, my friend. Completion of this task is critical to our survival here. Our comrade, Zahra, has taken it upon herself to climb the plateau just east of us to secure one of the old bombers left up there. So far, our attempts to get word back to Arik have failed. However, if you can help her get one of those planes working, we might just have a chance. Hopefully they can send aid before we are overrun...

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.

  • Ruinator Xok'nixxUldum · Level 50

    Ar'kali and a group of our warriors are engaged with a most behemothic creature in the heart of the ruins. She can hold her own against nearly any foe, but I fear it is only a matter of time before this monster is able to wear them down.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • All Gassed UpUldum · Level 50

    So, I was checkin' all these planes... and you are never gonna believe this, but none of them have any fuel in the tanks! Saw a few canisters scattered around nearby, surely some a' them have some gas left.

Aqir Offensive has 12 steps, from Word from Orsis to To the Moon.
