What to do
Donathan on Amber Ledge has tasked you with using the Beryl Shield Detonator to bring down the shield at Beryl Point. You are then to defeat Salrand and collect the key she holds.
Objective by objective
- Collect Salrand's Broken Key item #34909
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
So it's true. They have her.
It's clear what must be done, <race>. She WILL be saved.
I must remain here and aid in the rescue preparations. I call upon you again; this time to collect the prison key. All we know of this Salrand figure is that she cannot be harmed so long as her shield is intact.
We've customized a special explosive that should strip her of this protection, allowing you to perform your duty. Return to me when you've collected the key.
Hurry, <name>. Lady Evanor is suffering!

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 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 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 0 from 0) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 1 min 40 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

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 (Borean Tundra), 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.
