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.

  • Purity From CorruptionFelwood · Level 15-30

    The flowers you brought me were the essential ingredient. Protective barriers surround Shadow Hold, projected from demonic braziers. If we are to drive the Shadow Council from Felwood, then those braziers must be extinguished. This vial has been infused with crying violet and the magic of the wilds.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dousing the Flames of ProtectionFelwood · Level 15-30

    The braziers are spread throughout Shadow Hold. Enter the tunnel into Shadow Hold, and follow it through the underground passageways. Douse each of the brazier's flames and the protections the Council has set up will fall for at least a short period of time.
