DURING YOUR RUN

Objectives to remember

Coordinate these objectives for The Drowned City quests with your group:

  • The tablet route is shared by the Alliance and Horde dungeon quests: look below Zul’Alai, in the pirate area, near Var’Taka and near Min’loth.
  • The idol quests send both factions to the same dungeon objective. Bring the quest before your group starts.
  • Drops such as I’lalai Fetishes and Voodoo-Infused Artifacts can require extra kills or another run.
