Quest Text
Now that we finally have a hold on this wretched island, we can start to investigate how it got in this condition. Some of our troops have discovered journals around the entrance to Cursed Depths cellblock just east of here. These journals are of particular interest to our elder scribes back at base camp. I need you to recover four of them and bring them back to me as fast as you can. {name}, be careful down there, that place is crawling with undead.
Plan the run before you travel
Tol Barad belongs to the Cataclysm 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 28662 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 “Learning From The Past” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(28662))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(28662))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.
