The Scrimshank Redemption

Min Level: 43 Level: 48

check_circle Objectives

Discover the fate of Junior Surveyor Scrimshank, and bring either him or his surveying equipment to Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser in Gadgetzan.

"Well, what news do you have? You look like you've been in quite the fight... is Scrimshank alive?"

Description

Oh, this is just terrible! I sent out my top assistant, Junior Surveyor Scrimshank, into the desert southeast of here. That's an area we call the Gaping Chasm. Well, he's gone missing, and his last report had more of those weird bugs where he was. Could it be that they've infested two major regions of the desert now?



I need you to head into the Gaping Chasm and look for Scrimshank, please! That... or at least find his surveying equipment. I fear that may be all that is left of the poor sod.

Do This Quest Faster

I leveled a Paladin from 1 to 80 last weekend without opening a single browser tab.

No Wowhead. No "where the hell is this cave?" No alt-tabbing to figure out which talent to pick. No accidentally vendoring a quest upgrade because I was half-asleep.

Just an arrow on my screen, pointing where to go. For 23 hours straight.

If you actually enjoy reading quest text and exploring blind, stop reading now—this isn't for you.

But if you've ever stared at your 47th alt thinking "I cannot do Hellfire Peninsula again," keep going.

Zygor Guides has been around for 15+ years. It's not a free addon you grab from CurseForge—it's a subscription service ($15/month) that basically turns WoW into a GPS-guided theme park ride.

Here's what's actually in the box:

For the "I just want to hit max level" crowd:

  • 3D waypoint arrow on your screen pointing exactly where to run, fly, or teleport
  • Auto-calculates fastest routes using your hearthstone, flight paths, portals, even those random taxi NPCs nobody remembers exist
  • Detects your level in real-time—run a dungeon, gain 3 levels, and the guide skips all the quests you just outgrew
  • Auto-accepts and auto-turns-in quests (you never click "Accept" again)
  • Auto-selects the best quest reward for your spec
  • Auto-equips upgrades the moment they hit your bags
  • Talent Advisor tells you exactly which points to spend—updated for Hero Talents in The War Within

    • For the altoholics:

  • Full 1-max level paths for every race, faction, and class
  • Speed leveling mode that accounts for heirlooms and XP buffs
  • Allied race unlock guides (step-by-step, no guessing)
  • Starter guides for Dracthyr, DK, Demon Hunter, Evoker
  • "Story Only" mode if you just want campaign quests, or "Full Zone" mode for Loremaster

    • For the "I hit 80, now what?" players:

  • Dungeon guides with boss strats
  • Gear Finder scans your character and tells you *which dungeon* has the most upgrades for you—one click loads the guide
  • World Quest Planner maps out efficient daily routes
  • Delve guides and treasure locations for The War Within
  • Reputation trackers for every faction grind

    • For the gold goblins:

  • Scans YOUR server's Auction House (not some generic price database)
  • Shows the most profitable items to farm *on your specific realm*
  • Draws "ant-trail" farming routes directly on your map
  • Real-time gold tracker—watch your estimated earnings climb as you farm
  • Crafting profit calculator (factors in material costs)
  • Flipping detector finds underpriced auctions to buy and resell
  • Full 1-max profession leveling guides for every tradeskill

    • For collectors:

  • Mount guides with locations and acquisition steps
  • Battle pet guides
  • Achievement walkthroughs (including holiday events—updated every year)
  • Transmog/appearance hunting
  • Rare spawn detector

    • Quality-of-life stuff you didn't know you needed:

  • Auto-gossip picks the right dialogue option when talking to NPCs
  • Raid markers appear over quest targets (skull = kill, star = talk, square = click)
  • "Find Nearest" locates closest auctioneer, vendor, trainer, mailbox, whatever
  • Quest cleanup button abandons old quests in one click
  • Works on Retail, Classic, Cata Classic, and MoP Classic
  • Desktop client auto-updates everything—you never manually download anything

    • Picture this:

    You log in on a Saturday morning. You've got a fresh Shaman at level 12 and a vague sense of dread about the next 70 levels.

    You load Zygor. An arrow appears.

    You follow it.

    Three hours later you're level 34 and you haven't thought once. You haven't alt-tabbed. You haven't googled "best shaman leveling talents wotlk." You haven't run in circles looking for a cave entrance that's apparently hidden behind a waterfall on the other side of the zone.

    The guide auto-accepted 47 quests. It auto-turned-in 43 of them. It equipped 11 upgrades you didn't even notice drop. It told you to take the portal to Valdrakken because your hearthstone was on cooldown and it was 40 seconds faster.

    You didn't have to think. You just played.

    Now picture the gold grind:

    You need 80,000g for a mount. You have 12,000g and no idea where to start.

    You open Zygor's Gold Guide. It scans your server's AH—not some outdated generic database, YOUR server, today's prices.

    It tells you: "Twilight Jasmine is selling for 340g/stack on your realm. Here's the best farming route. Estimated gold per hour: 8,200g."

    An ant-trail appears on your map. You follow it. A little gold counter in the corner ticks up as you loot.

    Two hours later you're at 28,000g and you haven't opened a spreadsheet or watched a single "TOP 10 GOLD FARMS" YouTube video.

    Or this:

    You just hit 80. Your gear is garbage. You have no idea which dungeons to run.

    You open Zygor's Gear Finder. It scans your character slot by slot. It says: "The Rookery has 4 upgrades for you. The Stonevault has 2. Run The Rookery first."

    One click. The dungeon guide loads. Boss abilities, positioning, what to interrupt—it's all there.

    You actually know what you're doing in a pug for once.

    $15/month gets you everything. Leveling. Dungeons. Gold guides. Professions. Achievements. Pets. Mounts. Retail and Classic. All of it.

    No commitment. Cancel anytime.

    They've been running for 15 years. Blizzard hasn't banned anyone. It's legit.

    If you're the type who wants to discover Azeroth organically, read every quest, and figure things out yourself—respect, but this isn't your thing.

    But if you've got 6 alts sitting at level 20 because you can't face the grind again? If you're mass-clicking Accept on quests you'll never read anyway? If you just want to play the game instead of researching the game?

    Zygor.com. $15/month. Follow the arrow.

    Your 7th alt is waiting.
