The quest giver's words
The elements and spirits speak to you with clear voices, <name>. You have become a powerful shaman and an example to others wishing to serve the Horde.
Word has even reached the warchief, and he has commissioned his personal smith to forge a special weapon for you.
The cursed Shadowfang Keep in Silverpine Forest is the only place to get the materials you'll need. Travel there and obtain Lord Walden's talisman, the Book of Lost Souls, and essence from the ghosts haunting the keep.
Progress
Did you bring the materials I'll need for your weapon?
Completion
Ah, you must be <name>. Kardris said that you were venturing to Shadowfang Keep to find the materials needed for this weapon and I see that you have not disappointed. I will make you a mighty weapon worthy of what you have brought.

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 (Orgrimmar), 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.
