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.

    Dude! You're never going to guess who's out on the oil platform to the north. <Ace shakes head in disbelief.> Chip's out there, and he's working for the Trade Prince. That traitor's now working for the other team. But worse, I heard he's got something goin' on with Candy Cane!

  • Good-bye, Sweet OilThe Lost Isles · Level 1-20

    There is single big, red button on the platform control console. Clearly if ever there were a button to cause massive explosions, that is it!
