Quest showed as being 4/5 of the cores for a while and I kept killing mobs without seeing any additional drops.

The quest targets were also orange, indicating they still had what I needed to be collected.

At some point I talked to Alleria to return the other two quests you do alongside this one and turns out I'd already collected all 5 cores, the tracking is just wrong. Check your bags!

Description

No, no, no! The Shadowguard are ransacking the city and our defenses are crumbling! We even invested in new security golems after the city was last breached, but we haven't had time to activate them. Wait... I have an idea. The Shadowguard--some of them must have looted entropic cores that we can use to activate the golems. Please, you must take them down and retrieve those cores. We need to get those golems online to protect our investments! Uh, I mean, our city!

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.

  • Barriers to EntryK'aresh · Level 80

    Those barrier projectors we recovered? We need them now. Place them at key points to reinforce the city shield and block more portals from forming. Move swiftly, <name>. This may be our only chance to stop the Shadowguard from flooding in.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Heroes Among ShadowK'aresh · Level 80

    <name>! These people may not be my own, but we cannot stand by while the Shadowguard cut them down. You and I, we can make a difference! We need to get out there, rescue the civilians, and bring them to safety. The city may be in chaos, but we can still be the shield they need.
