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.

    Commander, I have bad news to report. Agent Graddock was out on assignment to keep an eye on the Bloodmaul and he missed his deadline to check back in. Something's not right, <name>. If Owynn was captured they may have locked him away with their slaves.
