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
We were sent here by the Sha'tar to investigate the manaforges that Kael'thas' army is operating here. Unfortunately, the Scryers threaten to renege on their information-gathering duties unless we support them with military action.
We can't afford to compromise this mission over politics, so we've agreed to weaken the manaforge's defenses so that the Scryers can do their work.
Prove your loyalty to the Aldor and slay the Sunfury magisters and bloodwarders that guard Manaforge B'naar.
Progress
Have you completed your task, <name>?
Completion
Excellent work, <name>. The Scryers have uncovered valuable information thanks to your distraction. Maybe they'll actually share it with us this time.
Category: Netherstorm.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.
- Money
- 3g 90s
- and 72s more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 12,000
-
at level 73 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 67–73 12,000 100% 74 9,600 80% 75 7,200 60% 76 4,800 40% 77 2,400 20% 78–89 1,200 10% 90 none 72s 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 12,000 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.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 2 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 2 runs 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 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 2) 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 0 completed runs. Computed on this page; the analyser has not published this quest 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 (Netherstorm), 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.
- hotspot centroid (numbered by weight)
- where players were
- pick up
- turn in
- where players die – not published yet
Where they happened is shown once at least 5 characters from at least two different people have done this quest (now 1 from 1): unlike the route, a death spot is about the player, not the quest.
- Pick up
- 0.320, 0.640 median of 1 recorded accept on Netherstorm
- Turn in
- 0.320, 0.640 median of 1 recorded turn-in on Netherstorm
- Deaths during this quest
