Description

I bet I know your first question: "What the ook happened to Sergeant Gorrok?" Don't worry, don't worry. He's totally alive. Not dead or anything. <Riko shuffles uncomfortably.> Well, we THINK he's alive, but he ALSO might be very, very dead. <Riko looks into your eyes for approval.> Fine! Let me tell you exactly what happened.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What's in a Name Name?The Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    So, you wanna be a hozen. Huh, wikket? Hozen defend their lands from enemies, like jinyu. Kah Kah fought many jinyu fights, and won them all. Hozen only give name name to good grookers. Go grook jinyu and maybe they call you <name> <name>. Jinyu creepin' down by the river. Ook 'em in the dooker!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scouting Report: On the Right TrackThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    MOST of what Riko said is true. We didn't dare pursue Gorrok - the Horde's numbers here are far too few. Our forces can only sustain so many losses, and frankly, we don't know how powerful that witch really is. Let me pick up where the hozen left off...
