What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Blackrock Spire, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
There is an orc inside Blackrock Spire much unlike the others. He speaks with the intelligence and wisdom of one beyond his appeared years, and does not fight against our soldiers like the others do. You must travel northwest to Blackrock Spire and find this orc, known only to us as Acride. Perhaps he is the key to stopping the orcish army. Perhaps we can stop Nefarian before it is too late...
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 27471 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 “Blackrock Anomaly” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(27471))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(27471))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.
