Players Uncover Hidden Sword Quest Chain in World of Warcraft: Forever

Members of the WoW Secret Hunters Discord have uncovered a hidden quest chain in World of Warcraft: Forever that takes place entirely on Zephras Isle. The hunt is still going, and the chain ends with a sword. Eurogamer has reported the details.

The chain starts with a quest that picks up an ancient heirloom ring in the starting zone, the area where new characters first enter the world. Next, players gather the Night Watchman's Torch in Duskwood and carry it to the Ruins of Ban'aethal on Zephras Isle. There, they receive a secret quest and the Ancient Hilt, the handle of a sword.

With the hilt and ring in hand, players must track down an Ancient Blade. It appears in several spots across the isle, so the search takes some legwork. Finding it unlocks the sword Eluvi'ana and completes part one of the chain. Getting the sword also requires access to the Skyborne elves.

Part two sends players further afield. They need a corrupted water globe from Darkshore or Blackfathom Deeps, depending on faction, which is the side a character belongs to in the game. They then complete a fetch quest, a task where you collect or bring back items, for a hidden spirit in Ashenvale. Everything goes to a non-player character, a figure controlled by the game, in the Shen'dralar zone.

That character sends players on a run of tough tasks. They raid a secluded vault in Feralas, a group challenge for many players at once. The vault is visible only with the Ancient Hilt. Players then dive underwater in Azshara and kill Highborne Shades in Winterspring.

Later steps include cleansing an orb in Hyjal. Players also speak to Prince Tortheldrin in the Dire Maul dungeon about another sword. His dialogue suggests the next step may require reputation with the Shen'dralar faction at Honoured, one of the higher standing levels a character can reach with a group in the game.

For players who enjoy the hunt itself, the chain is long and clue-driven, with each step pointing to the next. Anyone who wants to follow it will need to move across most of the game's map, and the trail is still unfolding.
