After you turn this quest at Marshal Maxwell, he doesn't give you a follow-up quest. Instead you have to return to Blackrock Depths and kill mobs until you find A Crumpled Up Note, which continues the chain.

Comment by kreghx

After each time I killed the pair. The note finally dropped. That is the easiest way to solo it, although someone said youc could farm the slaves outside the instance. I decided to go in to make sure I didn't waste my effort.

Of course, if you go with a group to do BRD, you should get the note fast and be able to do the rest of the quest. I did it solo because my guild was busy and I wanted to get it done.

Comment by NeonGenesis

Drops from the mobs outside the instances as well as inside.

If you are unable to use any of these reward items such as a priest or mage, you'll want to chose the Shieldplate Sabatons for the high vendor sales. As for Disenchanting, they are all equal.

how sad is that?

Comment by Thottbot

Dragonkin Menace -> The True Masters (part 1, Redridge) -> The True Masters (part 2, SW) -> The True Masters (part 3, back to Redridge) -> The True Masters (part 4, back to Morgan's Vigil in Burning Steppes) -> talk to Ragged John -> talk to marshal Maxwell -> Marshall Windsor -> Abandoned Hope. Next step begins when you find a Crumpled Note off random drop in BRD. Take it back to Marshall Windsor and get A Shred of Hope -> Jail Break -> Stormwind Rendevous -> The Great Masquerade, and you then get the key to Onyxia's Lair!

Ok so i just did my escort quest, and i went back to Morgan's Vigil and finished it. It says i have to so Stormwin Masquearde, but where's the quest for it?

Comment by Thottbot

The note can drop of all mobs in BRM, i got it from a lvl 48 quarry slave outside the intance

Comment by Thottbot

The above poster is right, i had just been in BRD and it didn't drop once for me. After my crew disbanded I decided to go back in and try this theory out. I first had to kill a lvl 49 elite supervisor but I'm a lvl 60 hunter so that was a peice of cake then I killed a lvl 47 Quarry slave and there it was.

And to the poster about where Windsor is..the reason the maps aren't clear is because it's in an instance..He can be found inside BRD where u first spoke with him.

Comment by Thottbot

Although it doesn't state it here, you get a choice of 3 items in addition to the XP. Conservator Helm, Windshear Leggings, Shieldplate Sabatons. If you aren't going to use any of them, the Windshear Leggings sell for the most at 1 Gold 44 Silver 46 Copper.

Comment by Thottbot

If you have lost, sold, or destroyed your amulet. Or if you have forgotten where you left off in the quest line you can page a GM. They can see where you are or what you have done. The GM I paged was very helpfull and friendly, told me where I left off in the quest line. And I think they help you get the amulet again.

Comment by Thottbot

after u get Abandoned hope from the guy in BRD, do you look for the note? or do u talk to the guy in Burning steppes and then go back and find the note in BRD?

Comment by Thottbot

To the last few people who got the reward for the chain from Marshall Maxwell in Burning Steppes and think theyre stuck...

The next step in the chain is to find the crumpled note as a random drop in BRD. You dont need to talk to anybody first, as long as you got the reward from Maxwell.

Comment by Thottbot

Yah i just went outside of instance killed 9 quarry slaves and got the note pretty easy

Comment by Thottbot

If you fail the escort in jailbreak, do you have to abandon the quest to do it again?

Comment by Thottbot

To quote someone that wrote it up so nicely at the END of the quest listings, I thought I would move it up to the front, so that anyone printing out the steps, could save some paper.

--------------------------------------------------
By revoluti0n, Alliance Drakefire Amulet quest chain

To enter Onyxia's Lair, you must endure these steps:

1) Dragonkin Menace (Elite) from Halrendis in Morgan's Vigil, Burning Steppes.
2) Talk to Marshal Maxwell in Morgan's Vigil.
3) Talk to Magistrate Solomon in Lakeshire.
4) Talk to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon in Stormwind.
5) Talk to Magistrate Solomon in Lakeshire.
6) Talk to Marshal Maxwell in Morgan's Vigil.
7) Find Marshal Windsor in Blackrock Depths jail.
8) Return to Maxwell.
9) Find a random "A Crumpled Up Note" drop from a random dwarf in Blackrock Depths.
10) Take said note to Marshal Windsor.
11) Retrieve Marshal Windsor's Lost Information from General Angerforge and Golem Lord Argelmach (two pieces).
12) Escort Marshal Windsor out of Blackrock Depths jail.
13) Meet Marshal Windsor at gates of Stormwind.
14) Escort Marshal Windsor to Stormwind Keep to unveil who Lady Katrana Prestor really is. (Spoiler: Onyxia)
15) Stand way the hell back while Bolvar fights the elite dragons.
16) Travel to Winterspring to find Haleh. Find lots of elite blue dragons and run to the back of the cave, where you'll see a rune on the floor. It's hard to see, so you will die a few times.
17) Haleh tells you to go kill Drakkisath in Upper Blackrock Spire. You will need 15 fairly skilled players for this quest, including yourself.
18) Once you have the "Blood of the Black Dragon Champion", return to Haleh. Drakkisath drops only ONE of these per kill. Yes, one for the entire 15 man group. Not one per person, one per group.
19) Return to Haleh with the Blood and claim your Drakefire Amulet. My 59 paladin now has his. :)

Comment by Thottbot

Yeah it does drop from quarryslaves i killed 30 and it drop,also the quarryslaves are not that bad to farm =)

Comment by Thottbot

On this patch, Drakkisath drops 1 blood to every group member. But only 10man raid is possible...

Comment by Thottbot

Yes. After patch 1.11 the Quarry Slaves do drop the note, happened to get it on my first attempt.

Comment by Thottbot

A Crumpled Up Note dropped off an Anvilrage Overseer for me outside the entrance. So getting that is easy :)

Comment by Thottbot

I did the same thing and i ahve to back track to each location until i found where i left off.

So sadly yes i believe thats what you have to do

Comment by Thottbot

I also discontinued the quest line for Onyxia and couldn't remember where to go next in the chain. I sent a ticket to a GM and explained this. I asked how to see what quests I have done in this chain so I could get back on track. The GM told me where I left off, what my next part was and where to go to find it. Hope this helps.

Comment by Thottbot

the note dropped to me outside the entrence to BRD on a random slave that I hit with my multishot :P

Comment by Thottbot

Hello, I seem to remember doing this whole chain, but I never escorted windsor, I just talked to him and quest was over. Im looking to get keyed for onyxia. I dont think I ever got the crumpled up note but I will go back and try to get that. if someone could tell me if im on the right track that would be great.

Comment by Thottbot

some one tell me does this quest and the chains after this lead to getting a legendary and is there a quest to get a legendary

Comment by Thottbot

The first quarry slave i killed droped "A crumbled up note" so its not hard to get it.
Tho, if u kill mobs in the instance it may be harder.

Comment by Thottbot

is this Onyxia?

Comment by Allakhazam

Talking to Windsor doesn't require a five-man. I did it in a raid, and it worked fine.

Comment by Allakhazam

Killed a non-elite slaver outside instance and got note. the q you need to do before is "Abandoned Hope" that you get from Marshal Windsor. The chain starts with Dragonkin Menace.

Comment by Allakhazam

To continue to next part you need to go back to brd and kill some mobs to get the note

Comment by Allakhazam

i talked to marshal windsor in his cell, then recieved the quest abandoned hope, no note ever dropped during the run, and now the quest disappeared from my quest log. does anyone know why?

Comment by Allakhazam

I have kill over 100 mobs outside BRD and it havent drop , why?

Comment by Allakhazam

kiled bout 20-30 elites outside BRD, then my vry 1st kill in BRD i go the note, so i think its definitly in the instance

Comment by Allakhazam

I never got that quest from Windsor, do I still need to go and do jail break again?, because i did it and he didn't shown his question mark on him

Comment by Allakhazam

Windshear Leggings

Comment by Allakhazam

Comment by Allakhazam

Comment by Allakhazam

just get a 70 to help it works best im lvl 53 and im done with the BRD parts of the quest

Comment by Staffanarious

Figured out that this quest has been removed (probably by prepatch). I turned in Marshal Windsor and no followup was given. Went digging on other sites which said the quest was originally removed with patch 3.0.2.

Quest no longer available in WOTLK classic

Links

Abandoned Hope

This quest is no longer available within the game.

Give Marshal Maxwell at Morgan's Vigil in the Burning Steppes the bad news.

Description

Bolvar is a fool. I was gathering his precious 'proof' so that I could shove it down his throat.

He is a blind buffoon. Proof stands two feet away from him and he does not see.

As for my data, it's lost. Gone. Unrecoverable.

Should I ever find Ironfoe and make it out of this labyrinth, my first stop will be Stormwind, to place my hammer in between that reptile's eyes.

Leave me, <name>.
