(On a side note: I got Thousand Needles Quests while just going for the end quest by doing all it's pre-requisit quests and some side quests that were in the same area. (Also did a chain started with Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp but afaik this is not needed.))

What to do

StorylineThousand Needles, step 96 of 107

Description

I've got an idea for how you can get close to their leaders without getting killed. But first, you're going to need to find something to wear. My suggestion is that you head up there and get their armor from them.

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.

  • On to the BulwarkThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    <name>, while you and the pridelings were taking care of the skymaster, Lakota Windsong came by. She told me to tell you to meet her east at the Twilight Bulwark. That must be where they're holding Magatha Grimtotem.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Break Them OutThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    Magatha's not the only one that the Twilight's Hammer have taken prisoner. While you're up there to the south, you should break as many of them out as you can.
