So, In tracking down the problem with the Stardust Spire sub-achievement, I ran into a broken questline. I thought all I had to do was finish "Check in on the Edunes" because that was a precursor listed for "Three Friends of the Forest", but running the questline stated to get that quest did not open it for me. On that note, it did lead me to a quest that put me at the location of the same name as the sub-achievement, so here is the questline that I believe is at least a part of the requirements for Stardust Spire:


  • Bathran's Hair

  • Delivery for Orendil

  • Bathed In Light

  • Orendil's Cure

  • Elune's Tear


Followed by:


  • Dryad Delivery

  • Search the Bole

  • Playing Possum


That unlocks:


  • To the Spire


The only quest at Stardust Spire that I didn't attribute to another previously known questline was "Retaking Mystral Lake" which upon completion still didn't give me the sub-achievement. Finally, after completing "The Goblin Braintrust" it dinged the sub-achievement.

At this point, I have no idea whether the following quests are a part of this line or not, even though they seem to be currently linked to this sub-achievement, and I have completed them, I don't think they are:


  • Three Friends of the Forest

  • In a Bind

  • Clear the Shrine

  • The Last Stand

Stay near Big Baobob and they won't attack you until you attack them. Then its easy to pick one off at a time. After you kill one you are no longer in battle so you can take a break and bandage yourself or drink some water if your out of mana.
Its a bit boring, but at least its easy.

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.

  • Clear the ShrineAshenvale · Level 7-30

    An end must be put to the Burning Legion's evil! <name>, you have defeated one of their most powerful, but there are still multitudes of demons infesting the woods to the east in Fire Scar Shrine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to RaeneAshenvale · Level 7-30

    I suggest you find Raene and let her know the rod is finished. I'm sure she'll know what your next course should be. Be careful... I sense a great deal of power within it for both good and ill. I hope that you and Raene know what you are doing. Good luck, <name>.
