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.

  • Springing the TrapBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    We owe this opportunity in great part to your efforts, <name>. It is only fitting that you initiate the attack on Malygos. Take this spark and use it to light the signal fire northwest of the Nexus. Keristrasza will direct you from there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Suitable Test SubjectBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    <Laurith looks you over as if to size you up.> So we've got this pollinated bloodspore flower and nobody to test its effects on. Say, would you perhaps be interested in rubbing this on your skin and letting me observe? What's the worst that could happen anyway? Don't you worry, <name>!
