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.

  • A Balm to CalmVol'dun · Level 30-60

    As promised, here is the balm that should remedy your companion's injuries. Apply it liberally to any bits of exposed flesh. Its effects should be felt immediately.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets in the SandVol'dun · Level 30-60

    I found this journal buried in the sand. Kiro tried to toss it in the fire. "Our wagon has no space for a diary, Meerah. What practical use does it have?" Don't tell him I said so, but I think it's fascinating! Can you imagine what kinds of secrets it holds?
