Tower 1 - 40, 71
Tower 2 - 42, 66
Tower 3 - 44, 63
Tower 4 - 46, 71

If you aren't in a group, don't worry, you don't have to fight any elites. Check the screenshot, just stand next to the doorway.

The hardest part of this quest is waiting on the 2 minute cooldown.

Comment by Zantulous

Solo'd this as a 54 rogue without so much as unsheathing my sword. Very easy quest if your careful of aggro

Comment by whopper

A bit off-topic but "All along the watchtower" is a titel of a famous song by Jimmy Hendrix.

Just wanted to add that the doorway method worked like a charm!

Comment by Returner99

solo'ed as lvl 54 shadow priest with 5k mana. Only use Mind Blast and Mind Flay(No dots!) and Shackle the elite when it gets too close, then run to the staircase inside the tower, Mind Blast, Mind Flay and Shackle (remember to keep PW: Shield up btw.. mortal strike is pretty nasty). Remember to hold a little break before breaking shackle so you got time to regenerate some mana.

Edit: Hmm.. now i see i didn't have to kill the elite... well nvm.. i got 1,4k exp for the lvl 56 and 1,5k for the lvl 57's ;)

Comment by Amber800

I know this is lame, but....I ran out of beacon torch charges and don't know how to get more. Will I need to abandon the quest and begin again? Any suggestions?

The quest name is a reference to the song 'All Along the Watchtower', by Jimmi Hendrix.

Just to let you all know.. these skeletons are immune to fear, so dont try what i did and bring yourself to low health than try Intimidating shout and first aid yourself.

Quest name is probably from: Jimi Hendrix': "All Along the watchtower"

Comment by Whole

Easy quest.

You won't have to fight a lot of mobs if you:

1. Stay along the roads but avoid the middle and the Flesh Golem
2. Run away when you drop the torches. I didn't see any Warlords spawn on my druid but they spawned for my priest. Maybe my druid avoided aggro?
3. If you need to go off the road to avoid the middle, don't go through houses. Go behind them.

Comment by LanceMavric

Just soloed this as a 53 fury warrior. really easy quest. the key to doing it at a low level is traveling along the mountainous edge where there is only 1 mob at a time. when it comes time to get to the towers, you don't have to be in the doorway. If you run into the corner of the door's edging and the wall of the tower on the outside, you can use the beacon, without aggroing the 57 warlord.

"There most be somewhere out of here.." =]

Comment by wendygail

no u dont have to fight a elite to do the quest but there is a 57 elite thats walks around u need to keep a eye out for

Comment by taleden

Alas, just because you're level 75 and want to get your scholo key to finish out the keymaster achievement (having just gotten your violet hold key), doesn't mean you can plow through this quest.

The item you use to mark the towers has a 2 minute cooldown.

Welcome to the world of waitcraft :/

holy long cooldowns batman

Comment by wye43

Evolution of nerfing:
1 - originally it used to be a lvl 57 elite guarding the tower, one that was close to impossible to solo unless you had very good gear
2 - they made it normal mob, soloable by an afk retard
3 - they removed the guard completely
4 - next: don't even go there, just ask when you need experience and get it free?

Comment by eddypet

inside of the tower u'll find a lvl 56 undead...soloed with my lvl53 paladin

Comment by renegade442

Comment by darkeningdawn

Torch cooldown has now been reduced to one second.

Comment by achildofearth

Counts towards the Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms achievement.

Comment by Igunaq

If you somehow use up all 5 charges, you must abandon the quest and start again.

All Along the Watchtowers

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Using the Beacon Torch, mark each tower in Andorhal; you will need to stand in the doorway of the tower to successfully mark it.

Once all four towers are marked, return the Beacon Torch to High Executor Derrington at the Bulwark, Western Plaguelands.

	Tower One marked
	Tower Two marked
	Tower Three marked
	Tower Four marked

Provided item:

	Beacon Torch

Description

Through the use of a magical device known as a beacon torch, we can mark targets of our choosing for future actions by our troops. To that end, we think the Scourge are using Andorhal's watchtowers as a means to control their troop movements.

Your mission: breach Andorhal's defenses to plant beacons at all four watchtowers. You'll need to be in the doorway of each tower to plant the beacon; it will then proceed to mark the tower. There are only five charges on the beacon torch, so use them wisely!
