  •  
Western Tower Ablaze
  •  
Southern Tower Ablaze
  •  
Eastern Tower Ablaze
  •  
Sentry Brazier
Provided Item:
Torch of Retribution

Description

Listen well, <name>. While the four towers can never be destroyed, you can use the torch of retribution to set them ablaze for a very long period of time: A fire that no element or force can subdue.

While they are ablaze, no guard or sentry unit can inhabit the watch posts and thus, their first line of defense is nullified.

You must enter each tower and use the Torch of Retribution within their fortifications. Beware the lookouts posted by the Dark Irons, <name>.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Dragonflight Leggings
Drakefire Headguard
Axe of the Ebon Drake
Also, you get: 2 30

Progress

Are you lost, <name>?

Completion

It is glorious! Is it not glorious master?

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 760 experience (45 60 at max. level)

I think it's safe to destroy the torch after you completed the quest.

It seems you need to have the Torch of Retribution equipped in order to burn the towers.

The old npc Sentery watch has been replaced with a dark iron lookout, this quest is soloable as long you can survive running in and light it up. I did this very easy as an 52 hunter, so to save time just mount up and run to second floor, light it and flee. The quest gives you 11000 xp, at least upto level 52.

It could be a time saver to do this with the ""STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass""- https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728
so you can do two at the same.

Heres a map - https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=51:334537363601441621494555 https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=51:334537363601441621494555

Before you can even get this quest you have to complete https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3454 The Torch of Retribution chain. I thought the Dragonflight Leggings would be an easy to acquire 49 BG item. Not so with the other five quests you have to do before it.

When you have done this last step, it seems npc near Squire is gone?

And take now a look at the box, which Squire suddenly looked at it. Yes, it's like 'open this box now'. Inside the box you get some 'bonus' items and the important Black Dragonflight Molt, needed for A Taste of Flame quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4023 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4023.

You must loot box twice, to get the items. Good luck.

This quest was really easy. The hardest part was clearing out the guards around it, but they're average lvl'ed of 47 so they weren't really that much of a challenge. I was actually disappointed that it was a tiny little pan that was lit. I was hoping that the whole tower top would burn but alas, its a tiny little pan fire.

The trickiest one to get to is the the one off the edge of the cauldron. You have to go across the bridge. When I got there, there were 4 workers and an elemental even before I got across the bridge and two workers on the other side.

Very anti-climactic quest...until the giant dragon appears. Still not sure what that was about.

Super XP though!

Small detail left out, you can't just target the towers and light them on fire (like 99.9% of similar quests). Instead you have to run around on the platforms until you find a brazier and light it from there. Makes no sense, but what does in this game.

With Blizz's helper, all you have to do is connect the dots. On the map, mouse over the one that shows you the quest name. Do that, and it will switch targets to the next. Generally, it will go from southern-most, and then around the cauldron to the right.

You have to run up onto the platforms of the tower and light the tiny little sentry braziers to ""set the tower ablaze.""
