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.

    We don't know how long the re-sizing will last, so let's get moving. You're going to ride this giant boar and mow down the army of undead between us and Wrathion. The large ones are pulsing with shadow magic. If you kill them, I bet it they'll take out any enemies near them.

  • Westward BoundExile's Reach · Level 6-9

    Captain Garrick wants us tae search west o' camp fer any other members of the expedition. Alaria and I will go on ahead. Meet us tae the west and we'll see what we can find.
