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.

  • Grimtotem Chiefs: Isha GloomaxeThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    Basic brave philosophy dictates that if you kill the leaders of your enemy's forces, they will soon fall into disarray. We are going to do just that, <class>. Isha Gloomaxe is the closest of the Grimtotem chiefs. We will test her and her axe, and she will be found wanting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Grimtotem Chiefs: Elder StormhoofThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    Elder Stormhoof is a shaman of immense power. Supposedly, he is a direct disciple of Magatha Grimtotem, the Elder Crone, leader of the Grimtotem clan. We know that he's here and that he's been training their geomancers. We have to kill him, <class>.
