What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Elwynn Forest, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The gryphon master in Goldshire is Bartlett. If you've spoken to him before, then you can take one of my gryphons to him. That's a good lesson to know: gryphons are always trained to fly to their capital city, but they'll only take you to a remote gryphon master after you've already been there. You've already been to Bartlett, so just speak with me again when you're ready to take a gryphon to Goldshire. Once there, you can deliver Osric's Crate to Smith Argus.
Plan the run before you travel
Elwynn Forest belongs to the Classic / Eastern Kingdoms & Kalimdor archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
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 26396 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 “Return to Argus” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(26396))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(26396))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.
