The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
Four Stones of Binding are scattered throughout Arathi. These stones keep me pinned beneath the earth.
To unlock them you must unlock the strongest: the Stone of Inner Binding. And to do that, you must gather keys from the other three.
These stones are watched by guardians, but if you are clever, or lucky, you may find ways to banish them.
Progress
This is the Stone of Inner Binding. It is the strongest of the binding stones and must be unlocked for the others to open.
Completion
<Myzrael speaks through the stone.>
You have done it! You opened the Stones of Binding! I can feel the shackles about me loosen, and freedom draws ever closer.
You are a noble <class>, <name>. My rescuer!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Arathi Highlands), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
