RewardsTreads of Youth, Crown Guard Armbands, Plaguebat Vest, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

The Argent Crusade built these towers to be points of light in the darkness of the Plaguelands. I walk the paths between these towers, protecting and maintaining them. The roads have been dangerous lately. Plagued wildlife runs rampant, and bats swoop down upon unsuspecting travelers. It would make the next leg of my journey much easier if you could clear some of this wildlife out of the way for me.

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.

  • Traveling CompanionsEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    While we're waiting here at this tower, we might as well see if anybody else is headed to Light's Hope Chapel. The more, the merrier, I say! Ask around to see if anybody wants to join us on our trip. I'm sure you can find somebody who's headed to Light's Hope.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Little PamelaEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The battle for Darrowshire still haunts me, <race>. I wake up in cold sweats, convinced that I'm still there; that it is happening all over again. I've coped with the loss of my comrades, but the loss of my family members is still cripplingly painful.
