What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Isle of Quel'Danas, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Our first priority is to capture the Sun's Reach Sanctum. Once we've secured it, we'll be able to use its energy to open a portal from Shattrath. The sanctum is overrun with the Wretched - former blood elves who've devolved into mindless husks of their former selves. Its defenses would've normally prevented this intrusion, but the Wretched have stolen the power sources from the protective wards. Hunt down the Wretched and get the mana remnants they carry. Use them to energize the sanctum wards.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 11496 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “The Sanctum Wards” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(11496))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(11496))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
