Something went wrong when I was in a party with this quest (both me on different accounts). Both characters were able to interact with each of the points, but the NPCs that convert into a turn-in NPCs in the last step didn't follow for my lead character, only the second one in the party. I had to leave the party, abandon the quest and re-do it to get the turn-in NPC to appear.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Security CheckZereth Mortis · Level 60

    I do not understand--these are my brethren! How can they be so careless, so unconcerned with both greedy cartels and the Mawsworn at their doorstep? Their protective technology is antiquated. It will not keep danger out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Xy Are You Doing This?Zereth Mortis · Level 60

    We cannot see them, but I am certain this is where Cartel Xy has established their base. Something must have drawn Xy to this area of Zereth Mortis specifically, and we must discover what it is if we are to protect our friends here. Their cloaks do not cover their supplies very well.
