The Restless Watch

The Restless Watch is a quest for level 25-35 in Townlong Steppes. It is step 30 of 60 in the Townlong Steppes storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Townlong Steppes at 79.5, 84.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

I'm being told that our scouts have been on duty in Shallowstep Pass for more than 2 days straight, no rest. No wonder mantid are slipping through. Even the most dedicated scouts would slip with those kinds of shifts.

I want you to go out there and deliver orders to the scouts that they are to return to the battlefront immediately for rest and rations. I'll arrange for a new shift to be posted.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Breach in the DefensesTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    Normally, it only takes a few scouts to hold this pass. Most of this territory is in sight of the wall, so archers would devastate any mantid force attempting to push through here. The problem is, most of the archers are occupied with the onslaught at the gate.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Returning from the PassTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    I still have some cleanup to do here in the pass - there are some mantid still making it through. You're a valuable person to have at hand though, and I know Taran wouldn't appreciate me keeping you longer for such basic work. Taran should still be in the main camp with Gao-Ran. Report back in.
