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.

  • The Pupil ReturnsMaldraxxus · Level 60

    Now that you have your disguise--and I have assurance of your loyalty--it is time you reported to your new master. Find Kel'Thuzad within the Vault of Souls. Do whatever tasks he requires of you, but keep your eyes open for anything untoward.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mistress of TomesMaldraxxus · Level 60

    The kyrian will no doubt make a worthy sacrifice for our ritual, but I am not entirely versed with the magics of his kind. I have requested that the Baroness Ninadar assemble a list of appropriate literature, so that I can ensure my ritual will have the desired effect.
