The Tower of Althalaxx

Find Balthule Shadowstrike near the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore.

Description

Hail, young <race>. I am Elissa Starbreeze, and it is my charge to protect Auberdine from harm.

To this end, I sent Balthule Shadowstrike to observe the strange happenings around the Tower of Althalaxx to the northeast.

It is past time that he should have returned. I worry that he has encountered some unforeseen danger in the forest. I would be most appreciative if you would find him and see that he is doing well.

Just don't try to go INSIDE the tower, even though the mobs around are 16-17, the mobs inside are 29+, spelling a quick death for any lvl 20 character. :(

For those who don't know where the quest giver is, she's upstairs in the first house/building as you come into Auberdine from the North.

Finding Balthule Shadowstrike, I just walked up the road till the yellow dot appeared.

just don't go into the tower without some help.&nbsp You can get the parchments outside in front of the tower.

No actually, it's 55,25 - the tower is further along the path and very obvious.

Follow the road north from Auberdine... The Tower of Althalaxx is just across the bridge... (Ca. 1cm from the bridge on the map)

Remember, he's NOT IN the tower!
He stands beside a big stone just at the road!

All I have to say is this is the start of what is possibly the most annoying and aggrivating low level quest line in game.&nbsp Any quest with the word "Althalaxx" in it should be avoided like the plague it is.

How come the mobs are lvl 29 in the tower! =O
I can tell you I was mighty surprised when I walked in there, and was attacked by 2 voidwalkers, amongst all. >.<

I thought this was a lvl 21 q?

I palyed in Darkshore as Druid, so when I got there as Warrior I knew where to get quests. But those people did not have marks on them at all. I have to TALK to them to get quest even if they did not have quest mark. I found it by mistake and just went around talking to evryone with the name (not just Sentinels) and got bunch of quests including Washed Ashore. I guess those were not required for warrior.

55, 25 is right where Balthule is at. I went straight to him using those coordinates.

I'm a level 20 NE Hunter. I keep checking to see if Sentinel Elissa Starbreeze has a huge yellow exclamation mark so I could get the damned quest already, but nothing is happening. I've done almost all the other quests in Darkshore. I've moved on to Astranaar now, but I want to do this quest. Do you guys know what might be going on?
