Quest Log

Scouting the Shore (Horde)

Scouting the Shore is a Horde-only quest for level 30-35 in Twilight Highlands. It is step 78 of 236 in the Twilight Highlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Twilight Highlands at 78.3, 62.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

If the Alliance gains control of this peninsula, they will threaten Dragonmaw Port. Not going to happen.

South of here you'll see a small hill with a commanding view of the shoreline. Whoever controls that hill will have the upper hand all along the shore!

Rush over there and scout the beach head control point. It's marked by that enormous flag. Then return to me.

You don't have to capture it, unless you're spoiling for a fight with the Alliance.
