Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Take the Flesh-bound Tome to High Commander Halford Wyrmbane at Wintergarde Keep in Dragonblight.

The quest giver's words

What can it be, <name>? That was certainly no ordinary curse that the blasted lich put on you!

<Durkon flips through the grisly pages of the tome.>

I don't even know if I'm looking at it the right way. We must find out what information is held within this tome!

<Durkon hands the book back to you.>

The High Commander will know what to do. Take the flesh-bound tome to him and tell him exactly what happened here.

Progress

The necrolord is no more?

Completion

<Halford's eyes widen.>

The fates smile down upon us on this day, <name>. I know just the person to see about this tome.

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 (Dragonblight), 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.
