StorylineTwilight Highlands, step 7 of 236
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

Between the Horde and the naga, our fleet has been decimated. We can't do anything to bring back the men who gave their lives to the sea, but sink me if I allow all of our supplies to be lost forever. Swim out to the Obsidian Breakers southwest of Highbank and retrieve our supplies from the wrecks and the ocean floor.

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.

  • Kurdran's Waitin'Twilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    It looks like the attack stopped, <name>. Which is a shame, 'cuz we never got to use the <class>-rocket. Anyways, Kurdran Wildhammer is up in the top of the keep an' I'm sure he'll be wantin' to gives ya a hero's welcome. Yeh earned it! Go talk to 'im! I'll move on ahead and scout out the beach.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Naga ReinforcementsTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    They've come slithering up from the ocean depths, <name>. The naga. I think their intent is to reinforce the Bastion of Twilight, probably by heading inland via the Verrall river. We can't let that happen!
