Quest Log

Wounds Beyond Flesh

Wounds Beyond Flesh is a quest for level 50. It is step 19 of 23 in the Through the Shattered Sky storyline. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

Even as Baine's flesh mends, his spirit draws closer to death. I have seen dark magic like this before... among the Shadowmoon clan.

The Jailer's minions must have inflicted a similar malady upon Baine.

The only cure for the Shadowmoon's curse was to find the object they used to poison the spirit and shatter it.

The sorcerers of this realm wield ornamental daggers. That might be what we're looking for.

We must find the one that they used on Baine--quickly!

To complete the quest you need to collect a [item=180050] from Mawsworn Sorcerers.
The blade only drops from the sorcerers, and the drop chance isnt 100%, more likely 10-15%.
Also dont miss to pick up A Good Axe as it cane be done at the same location.

YMMV on the drop rate of the "Wither Blade" that you need

Took me about 15-20 Soulrender mobs

Other alts took about 3-8 at most.

Shadowlands has an atrocious drop rate for the quest items you need throughout the entire expansion. Its super pathetic.

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.

  • By and Down the RiverLevel 50

    Our next step is clear. We must travel to Zovaal's Cauldron--a frightful place I've heard spoken of in fanatical whispers. It's a forge of sorts that lies across the River of Souls. I have only been there a handful of times, but I have seen Baine held captive by the soldiers there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Good AxeLevel 50

    I was a damned fool for throwing my axe at that sea hag. We can't afford to lose focus. The battle ahead won't be easy. I'll need another weapon to help us fight to the waystone. Looks like these soldiers have plenty of armaments. Let's keep an eye out for one I can use.

The storyline at a glance

Through the Shattered Sky has 23 steps, from Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons to Stand as One.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): The Maw (21), Icecrown Citadel (2).

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
