Ok. i was really confused on this one so i'll tell ya what ya gotta do. Go to the island at 37, 74. This island is NOT on the in-game world map. Wait there, the ship will come in less than 5 minutes. All you have to do to complete this particluar quest is talk to the Captain behind the steering wheel thing. He gives others quests once you hand it in.

One of the quest to recover the 4 vrykul artefacts. In order to get this quest, you must have finished "Scoodles".

You have to finish the little quest chain (listed in the quick fact box above) gave by Captain Ellis in order to get the shield.

Once you have finish the 4 quests, Orfus gives you the final part of the quest chain : A Return to Resting.

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 Frozen Heart of IsuldofHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Some say Jonah was never quite right in the head, but I know the truth. It was the heart. That damned frozen heart! I saw the change in him the second he pulled it from the grave. I could see the blood freeze in his veins... It was then that the madness truly took over.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Ancient Armor of the KvaldirHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    I was on the vessel that was bringing in the armor. We'd just boarded the ship and were headin' back here when we were attacked by a Forsaken destroyer. They boarded our ship, took all the booty for themselves, and then sunk her. That was the last I'd seen of that armor.
