StorylineTownlong Steppes, step 4 of 60
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

When the Osul tribe goes to war, they coat their spears and arrows with a highly flammable, ever-burning pitch. They use this terrible weapon to shed not only blood, but to raze the homes of their enemies. I need you to collect some of this pitch while you are in their camp. We will use it to show the yaungol that when you play with fire, you can get burned.

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.

  • Running RampantTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    There is one thing that every army needs, and that is a supply line. The enemy camp to the west contains a large beast herd, which serves as the yaungol army's main source of food. Luckily for us, the yaks and mushan beasts of this region are easily scared.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seeing RedTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    Ahead of us is the main thrust of the yaungol army. Here, they prepare their vast army to attack the villages of Kun-Lai. If we strike at the Osul now, we can cut them at their very core. Remember, for every of their number that we strike down here, we save one of our own back at home.
