Description

You're not the only one who came to Zul'Ahjin looking for answers. The place is crawling with looters and assassins, all searching for something... So far, they've come up empty handed, but that's because they don't know where to look. I do. Investigate the statue at the center of the ruins. It is the key to uncovering the city's ancient secrets.

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.

After this quest
