Quest Log

Scouting Undercover (Horde)

Scouting Undercover is a Horde-only quest for level 50 in Nazjatar. It is step 5 of 14 in the Secrets in the Sea storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Nazjatar at 37.0, 27.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 850 experience and money.

Description

Entering the stronghold alone would be a death wish.

The Zanj'ir slaughter outsiders on sight.

The only way to get in without being killed is to appear to be under the effects of a zoatroid.

Even then, the mind-shackled are put to work.

You must obey all commands, or they will know your mind is still your own.

Once the Zanj'ir believe you are mind-shackled, it should be easier to navigate their domain and uncover their secret.

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.

  • What We Know of the NagaNazjatar · Level 50

    It feels good to be me again. I have you to thank for that. My head still hurts from the zoatroid's influence, but I think the others are worse off. Put some of this salve on their wounds, and I'll do my best to tell you what I know about the naga.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sating SnapdragonsNazjatar · Level 50

    It's time for the snapdragons to feed, but it's a job best left to someone a little more expendable. The beasts will eat anything, including your arm if you don't move it away quickly enough. Luckily for you, they've developed a taste for Chitterspine Roe.
