• All Daily quests in this zone
• All Instant Adventure quests in this zone

Moonshade Highlands and Droughtlands are mostly concurrent. When you find the quests getting too tough at one, go to the other for awhile.

Ancient Wardstones

In various places throughout this zone you will find an Ancient Wardstone. Use your Activate Ancient Wardstone Ascended ability to activate the wardstone and summon an NPC (Note: He may already be there if someone else has activated the wardstone recently). Each completion of one of these Daily quests will reward you with a Vile Sourceshard and will add an additional defender NPC to the Wardstone.

For a complete recap of all we know about these artifacts, including locations and quests, see Ancient Wardstone

Activating all 10 Wardstones at once will summon Skirathos!
