Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

You have been asked to recover four Dusty Prison Journals from the Cursed Depths, just east of Baradin Hold.

Objective by objective

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

Now that we finally have a hold on this wretched island, we can start to investigate how it got in this condition. Some of our troops have discovered journals around the entrance to Cursed Depths cellblock just east of here.

These journals are of particular interest to our elder scribes back at base camp. I need you to recover four of them and bring them back to me as fast as you can.

<name>, be careful down there, that place is crawling with undead.

Progress

Were you able to recover the journals? Reports mentioned that they were sighted both in and out of the cells down there.

Completion

These journals are in excellent condition <name>. We will begin deciphering them immediately. Only time will tell what secrets they hold.

Category: Tol Barad (Daily).

What you need

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

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 (Tol Barad), 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.
