After the Shadowlands level squish the mobs for this quest are a little bit buggy; they have an ability called "Felblood" that can hit for roughly 200 damage, when characters at the level to do this quest might have 300 total HP. Be wary :)

What to do

StorylineDurotar, step 22 of 33
RewardsSearing Bracers, Skull Rock Belt, Blade Cultist Slippers, 4,100 XP

Description

{name}. The Burning Blade has infested the cave east of Orgrimmar known as Skull Rock. Inside that cave they perform vile rituals, and burn their own flesh with Searing Collars. By wearing these collars, I believe the cultists attune themselves to demonic power. But to confirm this, I must have a collection of the collars to study. Go to Skull Rock and gather Searing Collars from the cultists you find there. Bring them to me, and I will uncover their secrets.

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.

  • MargozDurotar · Level 1-30

    One of our more useful shaman, Margoz, knows more of the Burning Blade's corruption. He speaks of a cave called Skull Rock in the mountains, just outside Orgrimmar, that shelters a large band of Burning Blade cultists. Before you go to Skull Rock, speak with Margoz.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arnak FirebladeDurotar · Level 1-30

    The Searing Collars you brought me are powerful demonic implements. Divining their origin is, I'm afraid, beyond my skills as a shaman. We will need a warlock to study them. Take a searing collar to Arnak Fireblade.
