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.

  • Precious GoodsTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    The gates further down the canyon are shut. Our scouting revealed some kind of stone that they carry in chests in their caravans that they use to open the gates. Get down there and look for a chest key on the bodies of the guards.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Paving the WayTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    My orders are to accompany you south through the Dragonmaw Gates towards the entrance of Grim Batol. We're to clear a path so that the rest of the men can follow us up and secure the entrance. Translation: kill everything that moves, and don't be ashamed if you have a good time doing it.
