This quest took me a while due to a mass amount of alliance on one side and horde on the other, but I finally got to 8/8.

Seems like you aren't able to raise the same mob twice. Once I got 6/8 from one side I moved to the opposite side with my group and we completed the quest.

This quest is hilariously badly designed.

The entire quest is done in the Pit of Saron final boss area and there is absolutely no instancing, so expect hundreds of alliance and horde DKs. This wouldnt be so bad, but the way the quest is done is you kill the mob and then right click to raise it....and who gets to do that is absolutely !@#$ing random.

So expect to tag 50 mobs and maybe be able to raise one of them. Definitely group up and pray lol

Description

So here's the order of things, as far as I've been told. Mortal walks into Icecrown. Mortal is brutally defeated. Mortal gets raised as Scourge. These fools can't expect to trounce in here, do whatever they want, and leave without any consequence. Time to make them truly as mindless as they act.

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.
