What to do

StorylineAgainst the Warsong, step 14 of 21
Rewards16g 98s, 5,450 XP

Description

The Warsong packleader is trying to raise Telaar's shield. If Kargora does that, the Warsong will have an impervious base. So far, they've only managed to initiate the shield. This has the undesirable side effect of protecting the packleader and her shaman at the main crystal. Activate the crystals on the perimeter of Telaar. That will force the shield to fully deploy. Once you do that, Kargora will be exposed.

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.

  • The Blessing of SamediNagrand · Level 35-40

After 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?
