Old Tricks Work Best

Old Tricks Work Best is a quest for level 60 in Korthia, added in Shadowlands. It rewards 1 reputation reward.

Description

<name>. Here we are again, fighting alongside each other to protect the Shadowlands.

We're waging a losing war, but we might be able to turn the tide. I need you to seek out some very specific commanders of the Mawsworn forces. In every army, there's good commanders and bad ones. By taking out the good ones, only the bad ones advance, weakening the force as a whole.

Our Eyes have brought us the names. Now I just need you to kill them.

I saw this quest on my map, but for some reason, this quest NPC was phased out for me at first. I traveled down to the bottom of the hill below the quest location and the marker finally popped up on my minimap. I ran back up the hill, and Baroness Draka was visible.
