World of Warcraft The War Within is the upcoming 10th expansion pack for the legendary online RPG  The World of Warcraft. It will be the first of three expansions, together being called the ‘WorldSoul Saga trilogy’, that are aiming to tell a larger and more comprehensive story, Which is something unprecedented in the WoW universe.

Among the new additions, there are many quests for players to follow and complete, with each of them bearing their own unique requirements and rewards. “For Their Eyes Only” is one of those new quests, and we will be covering how to complete it in this guide. It’s pretty straightforward, and it can be completed fairly quickly. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

For Their Eyes Only Quest Guide

Map location for the ship and the For Their Eyes Only quest.

To start the quest, you will need to travel to Tenir’s ascent in Hallowfall. There upon the airship, you need to accept the “For Their Eyes Only” quest from Great Kyron. While accepting the quest, you can read through the description, and look at the objective and rewards at the bottom of the quest log. The quest objective is to “Gather 3 Nerubian Shadecasters to learn their plans”

Gathering the Nerubian Shadecasters

All 3 Nerubian Shadecasters can be found within the vicinity of the airship, making this quest quite easy.

Nerubian #1

The first Nerubian that drops the shadecaster

To find the first Nerubian, go back down from the entrance of the airship and immediately turn right. There on top of the short stairs, you will encounter your first Nerubian.

Simply defeat it so you can collect its Shadecaster. Doing so will progress the quest, and then you can move on to the next one. Defeating it will also net you some silver and copper, and possibly some gold as well if you’re lucky.

Nerubian #2

The second Nerubian that drops the shadecaster

To find the second one, go straight down the road after defeating the first one and take your first right. It will be walking slowly along your path most likely. Again, you will need to defeat it so you can collect its Shadecaster.

If this one doesn’t drop a Shadecaster, then just travel further along the path to find a couple of Nerubians fighting in front of some wooden blockades. At least one of them will drop the shade-caster, so defeat them both to earn some valuable and shiny materials while you are at it as well.

Nerubian #3

Another Nerubian that can possibly drop a Shadecaster.

The third and last Shadecaster can likely be found close to the small wooden blockades as well. Defeat the Nerubian on the left of the blockades, in front of the pillar, to collect it. If that doesn’t do it, then defeat the Nerubian on your right, from the entrance leading to the blockades, to collect that valuable Shadecaster. It will be fighting next to the roof of a structure. 

After defeating all these pesky Nerubians, you will surely have all 3 Shadecasters in your collection. Now to complete the quest, travel back to the top of the airship and talk to Anduin Wrynn. Click on ‘Complete Quest’ to receive your rewards. Completing the quest will earn you 23 Gold Coins, 40 Silver Coins, and a whopping 11600 XP.

There are plenty of other quests available in this expansion as well, so keep your eyes peeled for other guides too. Make sure you check out our guide on the Pipe Patching quest for a complete walkthrough of that quest.
