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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Azsharite Experiment Number TwoAzshara · Level 5-30

    Okay, new plan. We'll SCARE it out of 'em! In my experience most large creatures are terrified of tiny ones - like rats. Hmm. This place is crawling with rats, but how do we coax them over to the giant? Hey! You don't mind having your cellular matrix broken down and reassembled do you?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rapid DeploymentAzshara · Level 5-30

    You will be reporting for active duty immediately. Captain Desoto is overseeing deployment just down the ramp at the rocket launch station. Make us rich, soldier. Dismissed!
