Old Friends

This quest will not show up unless you do the opening questline in Spires of Arak. The starting quest is at 37, 17 - there is a small "tent" there.

The Shadows of Skettis

Normally you would automatically "run into" this quest as you enter the zone the first time (usually on foot). However for me, once I got flying, and was running alts, I kinda just skipped this quest area looking for Admiral Taylors quest line at his garrison. This questline eventually takes you right into Admiral Taylors quest line.

Hope this saves some people some time in figuring out why the quest does not show up.
