Description
Here goes nothing, {class}t. If anybody can pull this off, you can! ...Probably. Just use the rappel point behind me to get into the cave. What? Don't make that face. I'll give you more instructions once you're in the cave.
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.
