Description

The saronite bombs are in place, {name}. We're only going to get one shot at this, however. Let's make it count. We need temporary control of the area for a safe detonation. Let's try to put a dent in the Scourge's numbers.

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.
