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 Piece of the PuzzleSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    I... I remember now. Watch Commander Branson told us to stay in the inn... he said we would be safe here. Then... Then that THING broke through and slaughtered everyone! The last thing I remember seeing was it descending into the larder.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Punishable by DeathSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Traitors, the lot! You're looking at the last bastion of forces still loyal to Admiral Taylor and the Alliance. I'll be damned if the defectors get away clean. You look like you're ready. Show them how we deal with their kind during times of war.
