Not every Illidari Scouts were clickable and this quest took me a little bit to complete. A little bit buggy for me. I don't know if abandon and take it again will fix this.

P.s at 79 43 there is spawning a scout who works every time :)

[npc=117481] can be found in a cave, entrance is at 80.4 48.0 point.
There's [npc=117682] inside the cave. Stay away from fel spikes that he casts.
Scouts can be found across quest area, sometimes you can interact with them, sometimes you have to help them fight demons.
Sometimes they just cant be touched, dont know if bugged.

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.

  • Taking ChargeLevel 45

    Mardum has been quiet for months. I wonder why the Legion is attacking us now? Could be in retaliation for destroying their battleship on the Broken Shore... We had better head down ourselves and save the day, don't you agree?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Operation: PortalsLevel 45

    This is a serious invasion, but nothing a Slayer like you can't handle. Time to put those weapons to work!
