The memories confronted point with the Amani trolls is not completable right now if you don't have a good, fast aoe as you apparently need to target and kill both trolls to get credit. I have been able to use a macro to kill one of them, but never the second. I've been here for half an hour now with zero luck.

Edit. I just stood there randomly spamming barrage on cooldown. I got lucky enough to tag both trolls and am finally done. Seriously Blizz. This is why group and faction tagging needs to die a speedy death. Please, please get rid of it.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Legacy of the VoidLevel 70

    Make no mistake, <name>. I know this is a trap. But if there's any chance this leads us to the Harbinger, we must take that risk. Be at the ready. We venture forth.

After this quest

  • And Be One Traveler, Long I StoodLevel 70

    I sense another memory ahead. While I'm loath to play along with the Harbinger's game, it's the only path forward for us. Still, we have faced just as many dangerous memories as peaceful ones. Prepare yourself.
