Quest Log

Towers of Certain Doom (Horde)

Towers of Certain Doom is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 126 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 44.7, 33.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As we move through Skorn, we must destroy the towers.

If you have a look at them, you'll notice that their tops are lined with casters. Getting too close to them would mean certain doom.

However, we can call in wind rider air strikes from Camp Winterhoof. To do so, we need to get close enough so that you can lob a smoke flare atop of them.

Just don't get too close.

The mobs on the roofs are annoying.

Until you discover this;
if you run into the building and pull the mobs, they will not shoot at you. Makes it much easier. Seemed to me like you cant reach the mobs without a flying mount.

When you have used the flare and the quest tracker tells you that that part of the quest is done, they will die, and you can feel safe :-) Until they respawn(I don't know the respawn time).

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Burn Skorn, Burn!Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Chieftain Ashtotem ordered me to destroy many buildings here. However, you are in charge, so it falls to your hands, <name>. I suggest that we burn down the two longhouses and the barracks that are in the lower area of Skorn. All we have to do is get inside each and set them ablaze with this torch.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Conqueror of Skorn!Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    You have done everything that we were sent here to do, <class>. I must admit that you fight well. Your people are not as strange as I first thought.
