The Collector

The Collector is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Elwynn Forest. It is step 23 of 30 in the Elwynn Forest storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Elwynn Forest at 81.8, 66.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

This note is a schedule with a list of days and times when a person -- described only as "The Collector" -- will receive a shipment of gold from the mines in Elwynn Forest.

From the schedule, it looks as if the Collector resides near the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch in eastern Elwynn.

This sounds important. You should report it to Marshal Patterson at Eastvale Logging Camp.

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.
