What to do
Windcaller Blackhoof wants you to speak to the ancients Ashyen and Keleth at Cenarion Refuge and obtain their blessings.
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've earned the trust of the Cenarion Expedition, <name>. It is time you spoke to the ancients allied with our cause, Ashyen and Keleth, and asked for their blessing.
Carrying the mark of an ancient will fill you with great power. These boons will become more powerful as your renown among us increases.
Go, <name>, and ask the ancients for their blessing.
Progress
Have you spoken to the ancients yet, <name>?
Completion
You've returned. Did you receive the ancients' blessings?
Category: Zangarmarsh.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.

- and 33s more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience

-
at level 69 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 59–69 5,400 100% 70 4,300 80% 71 3,250 60% 72 2,150 40% 73 1,100 20% 74–89 550 10% 90 none 33s more money 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.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 5,400 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

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.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 1 run by 1 player – 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 available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 34 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 5,940 XP, done around level 63.
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 (Zangarmarsh), 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.
