Bonus Objective auto-triggered upon entering The Shimmering Moor (for me, at ~58,60 in southeastern SMV).


  • 14x[item=111559] - eggs are at the base of trees and in bushes throughout the zone. The eggs still have a rather low respawn timer as another user reported, but there are fewer people running around the zone now, so it's less painful.

  • 8x[npc=79658] - start to appear as you wander further into the objective area, usually in combat with an [npc=79673].

  • [npc=79681] - down the road and back up/right, across a bridge at ~63,63. Surrounded by anomolies. Watch out for bad ground.

You'll see some Power Crystals throughout the area that you can interact with that give you a 9 second debuff ("Strange Energy") that heals you 11% max health and restores 10% energy/mana/focus/rage/etc., both every 2 seconds.

At ~61,67 is [object=230664]. Touching the sword will trigger 3x [npc=79693] to attack (one at a time) and then you can pull the sword out and get some garrison resources and [item=111636].

At ~61,61 is [npc=82207].

i had a problem doing this--i had completed all three steps, and the log showed them all as complete, but for some reason it didn't register that it was done and give me the rewards. i followed the path out and went just past the eggtender guy, until the "bonus objective" list disappeared, and then went back into the zone. as soon as i re-entered the zone, it recognized that it was complete. thought i would put this here in case anyone else has the same problem!

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.
