I've done this quest across 4 alts now and whenever this quest a accepted, the number or rares on the broken shore always seems to drop down to 2, whereas before there could be 6 on the map it's telling me about.

Description

The Broken Shore swims with Legion filth, each demon deserving of a swift and merciless end. But some are more insidious than the rest. Powerful combatants rallying others to their perfidious cause. Strike down these demon champions and you will fill the hearts of their kin with fear and doubt. Break the Legion's spirit and we will break its back.

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.

  • Relieved of Their ValuablesLevel 45

    Not all demons on this shore stomp around in the open. Some slink about in the shadows, finding more subtle ways to advance the Legion's cause. I have been observing the behavior of smaller demons, these wyrmtongues. They seem to spend considerable time acquiring objects of power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Championing Our CauseLevel 45

    Important work has been done by your order, <class>t. Your champions have succeeded time and again in undermining the Legion's invasion. As we make preparations for our assault on the Tomb of Sargeras, we need to keep the demons off balance.
