Tents are the tent-looking things. (Durr!) These are scattered throughout, and both dome-shaped and flap tents count.

Ballista are the arrow-firing contraptions near archers. I found these near the upper levels of the base.

Description

Ridding Sunfury Hold of its garrison is not sufficient to keep the blood elves from reoccupying it. Kael'thas's followers are zealous and tenacious. Leaving them anything to use at Sunfury is effectively an invitation to return. No, it must all be destroyed. See to it that their tents and artillery burn to ashes! <The ghost's fists clench.> Steal torches from the Sunfury flamekeepers to accomplish your task, {name}.

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.

  • Krasus's CompendiumNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    The Kirin Tor sent one other of Krasus's possessions with our expedition. It was his spellbook, called Krasus's Compendium. Containing all the spells he mastered, it lent us a much-needed advantage in the war.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unlocking the CompendiumNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    While I'm glad to have most of Krasus's Compendium back, it's useless without the heliotrope oculus. You see, Krasus was well aware of the sheer power of the spells recorded in the book and took steps to safeguard them from prying eyes.
