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
The time has come. Take the figurine and descend into the crypts below. A summoning circle has been prepared, and you must place the figurine at its center.
Then the gateway will open, and the incubus will cross into our world.
A sayaad is not to be underestimated. The demon will not hesitate to attack when it realizes your ruse. You must draw upon all you have been taught to defeat it.
If you succeed, return to me and I shall bind the creature to your will. Fail, and your soul is forfeit.
Progress
The incubus will try to lower your guard through beguilement and deception. The demon is adept at swaying the hearts of mortals.
Remember that anything it may offer you is false. To the demon, you are merely prey.
Completion
Not bad, <name>. Your have bested the fiend, and your will remains unbroken.
Many a <class> has believed themselves strong enough to bind a sayaad, only to become the demon's next meal instead. I am pleased to see you are not so foolish.
Watch closely, and I will teach you the invocation to call upon your newly bound incubus.

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 (Stormwind City), 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.
