What to do

Slay 4 Illidari Taskmasters at the Ruins of Sha'naar and return to Ikan at the Temple of Telhamat in Hellfire Peninsula.

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

You probably think most Broken are evil, don't you? In reality many just lack guidance.

Before I met the Omenai, I too was lost.

Our minds suffered terrible pain from the orcs' demonic magic. We are easily confused and taken advantage of.

Demons allied with Illidan raid Hellfire daily and capture our kind as slaves. With the Omenai we now have hope. Travel to the Ruins of Sha'naar, southwest of here, and slay the Illidari taskmasters so my people may be free!

Completion

You did it! I'm in your debt, <name>. Look at all the Dreghoods that are showing up.

Under my guidance they'll learn all about the old ways, you'll see.

Category: Hellfire Peninsula.

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.

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 (Hellfire Peninsula), 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.
