A hilltop forge at 39, 40 of the Maw is a good place to rescue these souls. There, the souls and Stone Prisons respawn quickly, without too many hostile mobs. You can camp between the forge's east and west side to collect the souls without losing an arm and a leg. This location is right next to the round platform where [npc=157833] respawns.

These Maw quests are a bit too difficult and too dangerous. Players often have to risk a lot of Stygia roaming in the Maw, looking for the souls. Moreover, the souls are usually guarded by hostile mobs. So, please, Daddy Blizz, do not nerf any further the respawn rate of the souls or Stone Prisons.

So, correct me if I am wrong, it seems that if you swap covenants you get the first quest to rescue 5 souls, at renown 20 you get this quest to rescue 15 souls. However when I go into The Maw to free them, I get no credit for doing so. Any one know if this happening to them who swapped covenants this week?

Description

Souls continue to pour into the Maw. Their anima, our very lifeblood of the Shadowlands, is going with those souls to fuel the Jailer. You rescued me from the Maw. I see no reason you cannot pull more souls from that abyss. Bring souls you rescue from the Maw to me and I shall see them put to better use. At least in Revendreth they have a chance of redemption.

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.

    Right, here's the gig: we need anima. Not just a bit or a pinch, but a lot. See, anythin' worth doin' can't be done without anima. Not in the Shadowlands. Not if we are gonna fix this mess Denathrius got us in.
