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
Your talent has attracted much attention in shamanic circles, <name>. Word of your mastery of the elements and dedication to the Alliance has even reached the palace.
In recognition of your service, King Wrynn has commissioned the royal armorer to forge a special weapon.
The materials for your weapon can only be found in Silverpine Forest's cursed Shadowfang Keep. Travel there and retrieve Lord Walden's talisman, the Book of Lost Souls, and the essence of the ghosts haunting the castle.
Progress
Did you bring the materials I'll need for your weapon?
Completion
I have rarely had the chance to work with such exotic materials, but even I can sense the power residing within them. I will have the honor of crafting an incredible weapon for you, <name>. The farseer did not underestimate your abilities when she told me about you.

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

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Stormwind City), 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.
