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.

Boralus Objective area no plotted point

Nearby on the Boralus map

Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Boralus, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Getting there

Alliance flight points closest to the quest’s first objective area marker on Boralus:

  • Tradewinds Market, Tiragarde SoundAlliance · about 80 yards east
  • Hatherford, Tiragarde SoundAlliance · about 560 yards west

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
