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.

  • Reglakk's ResearchNagrand · Level 35-40

    Okay so these orders say Reglakk is in charge of something called Breaker research, which makes super powerful ogres. I don't know about you but that sounds bad. I'm pretty hurt, do you think you can go up there alone and make Reglakk rethink his research?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Along the RiversideNagrand · Level 35-40

    Durotan has taken most of our forces west. He's establishing a forward base along the Skysong River. He'll want to know that we're almost ready to move against Grommashar. I'm sure he'll also appreciate your help dealing with the Warsong orcs at Lok-rath.
