This is seemingly the only guaranteed way for classes other than those it is restricted to as a normal drop to get [item=251783] for speed sets, outside of extreme luck with the end of Delve vendor offering it (must switch the vendor view to "All classes" to see it if offered) or as a random Bound to Warband reward from various content. The afore mentioned classes can see it as a WQ reward at Adventurer level and as a normal reward from any content that pulls from the Delve/World pool of rewards.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

We have learned much about the forces we will be facing in the battle to come. Suramar remembers the debt we owe the sin'dorei for their aid in our time of need. Now that our forces are assembled and our golems prepared, we are ready to defend this city as if it were our own. Come, {name}. Let us return to Lor'themar. It is time to discuss battle strategy.

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.

    Ulen's imposter may have escaped, but I suspect I know what the cult has been doing. The Twilight's Blade must be redirecting Suramar's mana flow. Without it being sent to the correct places, our awareness dulls, our golems wilt, and our entire society risks a mana withdrawal.
