The Totems That Bind (Alliance)

The Totems That Bind is an Alliance-only quest for level 40. It is step 6 of 8 in the Garrison Campaign storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Frostfire Ridge at 39.4, 23.4. It rewards 1,350 experience and money.

Description

Before Borgal began to use the Soulgrinder, he used totems to bind spirits to his service.

If we can get a few of those totems I may be able to use the spiritual connection he's forged with them to force a link. He'll be compelled to appear before us!

Go find me a few of those totems and I might be able to pull this off, I think five should do it.

If you are having phasing issues and cannot see this boss - open a quest progression ticket and report your issue, if you get a good enough GM they will offer to log into your account and put you in the right phase, I have had phasing issues for around 2 months opening several tickets and finally they have fixed it today, practically. If GMs just say "report this bug" open another ticket and find a GM who will actually fix it for you, most likely by logging into your account.

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.

  • Cleansing the SoulsLevel 40

    Not all spirits are destroyed by the Soulgrinder. Some souls manage to survive more or less intact like myself. Others have become twisted and maddened. End their misery, take my soul shard and use it to purify them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Soulgrinder SurvivorLevel 40

    It is time for Borgal to die. We must travel to a location of power where I have room for the ritual. There is a ruined tower to the northwest that will be perfect for this. Meet us there and place the totems in the areas of power you will find there.
