Clearing the barracks is a tough one if you are doing these quests solo and at level. The mobs fight in groups and adjacent ones agro real quick, not to mention the fast respawn rate. The mobs you will be questing after aren't that tough, its just when a group of mobs gets after you, as is often the case. I'm a hunter and trying to do ranged, traps and kiting in such a confined space is a nightmare. Got killed four times in the process.

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.

  • To Take the AbbeyEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The Scarlet Crusade maintains a well-fortified abbey in the lower western tier of Tyr's Hand. The abbey will need to be secured before proceeding any further into the stronghold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Victory From WithinEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    A few of our men didn't make it through portals which were supposed to open inside this very abbey. You've already proven your elusiveness and battlehardiness... now I need you to do so again. The abbey has two wings: a library, and a hall of arms. In each wing, you should find a portal.
