Like the early part of the chain, Working With the Wardens, this quest requires you to send your followers on a number of missions. Each 12 hours long (when you counter the enemy correctly). 60 hours total if back to back, but you'll have at least 6 champions working for you now. Good luck Illidari.

The next mini-gate on your way to Slayer will be A Very Special Kind of Fuel where you'll need to run at minimum three legion dungeons.

Description

We have the Sargerite Keystone. We have most of the forces we will need. We even have a plan. Now we need to locate the Felsouls and prepare for an invasion of whatever demon world they're hiding out on. Please leave it to me. If you will grant me the use of your champions, I and the Scythe of Souls will extract the information by any means necessary from the demons that we question.

  • One Battle at a TimeLevel 45

    Before I became a demon hunter, I practiced the arcane arts. I still retain some of that knowledge, though the fel makes it all but impossible to use. One thing I can still manage is the occasional glimpse into faraway places. You've seen me use the nether crucible to do this.
