All Along the Watchtowers

A level 56 quest for the Alliance, from level 50.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Using the Beacon Torch, mark each tower in Andorhal; you will need to stand in the doorway of the tower to successfully mark it.

Once all four towers are marked, return the Beacon Torch to Commander Ashlam Valorfist in Chillwind Camp, Western Plaguelands.

  • Tower One marked
  • Tower Two marked
  • Tower Three marked
  • Tower Four marked

Provided: Beacon Torch

Description

Through the use of a magical device known as a beacon torch, we can mark targets of our choosing for future actions by our troops. To that end, we think the Scourge are using Andorhal's watchtowers as a means to control their troop movements.

Your mission: breach Andorhal's defenses to plant beacons at all four watchtowers. You'll need to be in the doorway of each tower to plant the beacon; it will then proceed to mark the tower. There are only five charges on the beacon torch, so use them wisely!

Rewards

When you come back

Once the towers are marked, they'll become top priority targets for our attack on Andorhal. I suspect that once we neutralize the towers, the main threat of Andorhal will emerge. From that point on, we'll have a straight-up fight for control of the city!

you're back to report success, yes? Don't forget the beacon torch as well; we must maintain control of our materiel.

When you hand it in

My priests are reporting that our beacon trackers are picking up extremely strong signals on all four towers! Dare I say it, but I believe you've executed another mission with complete and total success! Well played once again, ‹name›!

With the towers marked, our preparations for the attack are now in place. The time has come to take the fight to the Scourge!
