Objective by objective
- Collect Durrin's Archaeological Findings item #50410
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
Hey wait a minute, this bone has pickax marks on it. These aren't yours, are they? No, I recognize this mark... this must be that blasted dwarf! Gah!
Let me step back for a minute and explain. There's another archaeologist south of here named Durrin Direshovel. He practices a reckless, devil-may-care brand of archaeology that offends even me.
A priceless fossil, ruined by sloppy pick-work. This is the last straw, Durrin!
<name>, go put an end to Direshovel and his negligent excavation.
Progress
Is the deed done? Did you manage to salvage his notes?
Completion
I knew it! Durrin HAS been digging around here. And he's been excavating what could be the archaeological find of the century! Now I just have to find out where he's stashing the bones...
Thanks <name>. You've been a great help.

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 (Un'Goro Crater), 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.
