Quest #14128 Level 10 Azshara Horde only no runs yet

Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Deliver the Scout's Orders to Malynea Skyreaver at the Orgrimmar Rocketway Exchange.

The quest giver's words

Our blood elven allies have been examining the ruins marked on this map, and can likely understand this mysterious script. Seek out the one called Malynea Skyreaver. She conducts her research from the Orgrimmar Rocketway Exchange just north of here - it's part of the new goblin transit system that snakes across this land. Quickly, now!

Progress

I trust this interruption is in regards to something important?

Completion

What? Give that here, this instant! Ag'tor is correct, these are arcane runes. They're scouting out magical sites? Experimenting with the arcane arts? This is a marked departure from thousands of years of night elven history.

Hmph! The idea that they will achieve any competence in this field - even those who once counted themselves among the highborne - is absurd.

<Malynea puts aside the scroll dismissively, but her face is furrowed with concern.>

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.

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 (Azshara), 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.
