The Military Briefing drops from Sunfury Bowmen, and Sunfury Centurions. The Arcane Briefing drops from the Sunfury Conjurers. All three are located outside of Manaforge: Duro (60, 68).

The Briefings have a rather low drop rate.

Description

Something about these manaforges has been bothering me, {name}. Naaru technology is incredibly advanced; it should've taken Kael'thas years to even begin to understand it. Information-gathering on the subject has been difficult as Kael's army is well disciplined and destroys all evidence of written communication. We've been informed Manaforge Duro is under attack by mana creatures. It is possible that those defending it have not yet destroyed their briefings. Obtain them and bring them to me.

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.

  • Shutting Down Manaforge AraNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    One manaforge is all that keeps Tempest Keep functional. After we bring Manaforge Ara down, Kael will have to resort to depleting whatever energy he's got stored up. Travel to Manaforge Ara, in the northwest, and deliver the final blow that we need by shutting it down.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Outside AssistanceNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    The Sunfury briefings support the theory that Kael'thas has been receiving outside help in constructing and running these manaforges. Who this is remains a bit of a mystery, though we're likely to find out in Manaforge Ara. I've sent a group of my men to scout the surrounding area.
