What to do

Travel to the Burning Steppes and give Bijou's Information to Marshal Maxwell.

The quest giver's words

I'm a goblin of my word, <race>. Now listen closely:

These orcs are used primarily as beasts of burden and cannon fodder for the black dragonflight!

Their true leader is none other than Nefarian, brood of Deathwing. I've also discovered the location of Nefarian's subordinates in this part of the citadel.

Take this map to Marshal Maxwell in the Burning Steppes. It has the location of these fiends marked for easy identification.

Progress

Ah, <name>. It has been a long time.

Completion

This coincides with much of what we already knew. Regardless, it is interesting and rather unfortunate information.

The markings on this map will prove valuable in thinning the Blackrock menace.

Category: Blackrock Spire (Dungeon).

The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.

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 (Blackrock Spire), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. There is no zone artwork here – the grid lines are tenths of the map.
