Quest Log

Under False Colors

Under False Colors is a quest for level 50. It is step 8 of 8 in the Testing Loyalties storyline, the final step. It rewards 850 experience and money.

Description

If we wish to stay the executioner's axe, we'll need to throw Sylvanas off of our scent. I will take the ship near Chandlery Wharf, which has recently been taken by Irontide pirates. There, I will leave it under the guise of a pirate raid gone wrong.

Your task will be to ensure that Sylvanas' forces find this ship.

You must report to Nathanos that you spotted a stolen Forsaken vessel in that area. You have no connection to Derek Proudmoore, so it should raise no suspicions.

Obviously Nathanos isn't buying it. If we knew this 'pirate raid' was happening, we would have stopped the pirates ourselves, instead of bringing the matter to him without doing anything about it.

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.
