Quest Log

Touring the Front (Alliance)

Touring the Front is an Alliance-only quest for level 50. It is step 3 of 6 in The Battle for Stromgarde storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Arathi Highlands at 19.2, 56.7. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

The Horde haven't attacked for a while now. Neither have we, honestly. It should be safe to head on out and do some scouting.

Check in with our foremen at the mine and the lumber mill. It'd be good to know that they haven't off and gotten themselves killed, and the trip should give you a bit of a lay of the land.

Speaking of which, you might also talk to Grayson Bell, the flight master, who can give you a quick look at our enemy's base. "Ar'gorok," or some other such orcish nonsense.

I have a bug: no matter what I do, the progress of quest is not reflected. I rode the gryph 10 times and spoke to all of the NPC' s endless times, without nay add-ons, after reset, abandoning quest etc. No luck at all. Nobody I spoek to had any issues....

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Warfront ContributionLevel 50

    A well-trained army will only get us so far, <name>. We also need money, food, and supplies to keep our army funded, fed, and ready to fight. Alliance coffers fund most of the war effort, but the rest is paid for by the hard work of citizens like you and me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Back to BoralusLevel 50

    That should just about do it for now, then. We'll be in touch if the fighting heats back up again. No doubt it'll be any day now.
