TheWoWDBIf you did not pick up all the blue gear drops, the 28 slot bag, and the Strength/Agility buff item, you may want to go back BEFORE turning in this quest so you can collect them all. You CANNOT return to Mardum (which is in the past) once you click to portal to return to the Black Temple. You will go to the Vault of the Wardens and end up in a different time period!
Good news: You can glide down from the ledge harmlessly with your Demon Hunter wings, collect any items you missed, and then take the bat back up to the quest area before or after killing the blood queen.
