What To Do

Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Borean Tundra, then return to the turn-in NPC.

Quest Text

Now that we have this phylactery, I shouldn't have any problems getting the information I need. It won't take long for the Scourge in the Temple City to notice something's up, however. I won't be able to fend off a full scale attack here. Or maybe I would... but I'd rather not find out. I want you to head down there and inflict some casualties. Hopefully they'll be distracted long enough for these two to spill their guts... figuratively, of course. Take Lurid with you, he might be of aid.

Plan the run before you travel

Archive context

Borean Tundra belongs to the Wrath of the Lich King archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.

Stuck?

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.

Group size

No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.

Use the evidence

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.

Field notes

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 11938 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.

Have I done this?

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 “Buying Some Time” on the character you are logged into.

Completion check

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(11938))

Warband-wide check (11.0+)

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(11938))

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.
