What to do
Speak to A'dal, the leader of the Sha'tar, in the center of the Terrace of Light.
The quest giver's words
Welcome to Shattrath City, <class>. This might be the one place in all of Outland where you'll find any semblance of safety.
A group of naaru known as the Sha'tar drove the demons away from here.
If you've never met a naaru, you ought to see A'dal inside the Terrace of Light. The leader of the Sha'tar is an awe-inspiring sight if I ever saw one. Sure is a change of pace from anything else in this bleak land.
Completion
<The light that filled your senses as you approached A'dal intensifies as you address him. Melodic chimes continue to ring within your head.>
<You are safe here.>

By character level
Level Experience Share 60–70 5,500 100% 71 4,400 80% 72 3,300 60% 73 2,200 40% 74 1,100 20% 75–89 550 10% 90 none 33s more money 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.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 5,500 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

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.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 1 run by 1 player – 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 available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 1 min 54 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 6,050 XP, done around level 64.
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 (Shattrath 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.

Objectives, in the order players do them
No objective progress has been uploaded for this quest yet. Once somebody plays it with the addon on, the objectives and their hotspots appear here automatically.
Tips
No tips yet – they need a handful of runs before they say anything true.
