What to do

Korrah wants you to speak to her when you are ready to be shown the Naga threat.

The quest giver's words

I am all that remains of my company, sent to monitor the many changes on this coast of Desolace.

I have reported of the dramatic increase of naga here, but to no effect.

My peers are focused on other crises, so I must ask you, a stranger, to assist me in my research.

First, though, allow me to show you the threat we face.

Progress

Now you see, <race>. This is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Completion

So now you see. These are not a simple band of displaced naga, but a well organized army, capable of great devastation.

Do you agree to assist me in my investigation?

Category: Desolace.

What you need

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

The reward

No item reward.

Money: none; and 12s more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
Experience: 2,000; at level 37 or lower; less above

By character level

Level Experience Share

28–37 2,000 100%

38 1,600 80%

39 1,200 60%

40 800 40%

41 400 20%

42–89 200 10%

90 none 12s 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.

Level	Experience	Share
28–37	2,000	100%
38	1,600	80%
39	1,200	60%
40	800	40%
41	400	20%
42–89	200	10%
90	none	12s more money

Observed, what players here were paid: 2,200 experience (median of 2 runs), no money (median of 2 runs).

The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.

Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 2,000 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

Who it is for

Faction
Race: any race
Class: any class
Level: quest level 32, requires level 28
Profession: none
Repeats: once only

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 2 completed runs. 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 2 runs by 2 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 2) 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 2 from 2) not yet

Observed, not a fact about the game: 2 completed runs behind the medians, 2 recorded attempts in total.

3 min median time (accept → turn in) 2 min 57 s – 3 min 2 s for the middle half

Based on 2 completed runs. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

2 min 54 s fastest recorded run slowest 3 min 5 s

Same 2 runs; mean 3 min.

2 / 2 turned in / attempted nobody abandoned it

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

0.0 deaths per attempt 0 deaths in total

0 tracked kills, typically 2,200 XP, done around level 32.

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 (Desolace), 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.
