Quest Log

The Long Way Around

The Long Way Around is a quest for level 90 in Zul'Aman. It is step 6 of 20 in the Sins of the Past storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zul'Aman at 37.0, 18.1. It rewards 1,350 experience and money.

Description

We've averted one disaster, but the threat of Kith'ix still remains.

Zul'jarra is right about one thing. There's no sense in marching an army into a straight-on confrontation. If we were at our full strength, perhaps--but thanks to Xal'atath, we are nowhere close to that. A small, elite force should be able to reach Atal'Utek by sea... if we are able to avoid attacking each other long enough to get there.

Tell me, <name>. How are you with boats?

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.

  • The Amani ImpasseEversong Woods · Level 90

    We've thinned the swarm enough to allow our troops to advance, but we cannot delay. These things have been slumbering under Quel'Thalas for who knows how long, and they've made it clear that they can emerge and swarm without warning. I'll worry about the political ramifications later.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tenuous AlliancesEversong Woods · Level 90

    Five minutes spent in each other's company and our band of heroes is already about to collapse upon itself. We're never going to get anywhere like this. We don't have to LIKE each other, but we need to be on the same page if we're going to topple a monstrosity like Kith'ix.
