World of Warcraft: Celebrate 20th Anniversary with Guest Relations Quest Walkthrough

The World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary event has brought plenty of activities to explore, and starting October 28, there’s even more to do! The new Guest Relations questline adds a layer of mystery, encouraging players to solve secrets across Azeroth. This guide will walk you through each part of the Guest Relations quest, including how to complete the quests, unlock the latest chapters, and maximize your experience before the event ends.

Guest Relations Quest Release Schedule

The Guest Relations questline wasn’t available at the start of the anniversary event. Instead, it’s rolling out in weekly chapters that gradually reveal more of the story. Each main quest rewards you with Bronze Celebration Tokens, so it’s worth tackling each chapter as soon as it’s live.

- October 28, 2024: Guest Relations Chapter 1

- November 4, 2024: Guest Relations Chapter 2

Currently, there are two chapters confirmed, but additional quests may be released as the event progresses. The 20th Anniversary celebration runs until January 6, 2025, so more surprises could be in store.

Guest Relations Quest Walkthrough

To start the Guest Relations questline, go to the central tent in the anniversary celebration area and look for Alyx, who will have a large exclamation mark above her head after October 28. She’ll offer you the “Lost and Busy” quest, directing you to speak with Maru, a young Tuskarr located next to Leeroy Jenkins, across from the Mount Mania stage.

After speaking with Maru, you’ll receive the quest “Tat Big Meanie,” where you’ll need to find four hidden clues scattered around the event grounds using the Idol of Ohn’ahra. The idol emits a beam to guide you toward each item if you’re nearby.

- Red Hair Location: South of the main tent, beside the World Boss Weekly questgiver.

- Historic Tales Location: Attached to a post close to the Red Hair.

- Ratts Location: In the crowd near the Storyteller’s stage.

- Strange Torch Location: Behind the Barbershop, next to the Fashion Frenzy stage.

Once you’ve found these items, bring them back to Maru to receive the “To Da Ruins” quest. Head southwest to the entrance of Uldum, where Maru will give you the “Da Stick of Revealing” quest, along with the Torch of Pyrreth. The torch allows you to uncover more hidden treasures for the follow-up quest, “Treasure Hunt.”

For this quest, you’ll need to locate four more hidden items:

- Jeweled Eye Location: Near a giant stone head in the northern part of the southernmost quest area. Loot the eye when the beam activates.

- Cool Guts Location: On the east side of the southernmost quest circle. Stand near the gooey mass to summon and defeat a Worm enemy.

- Golden Chalice Location: Inside a buried chest at the center of the quest circle, which only opens with the torch active.

- Fragment of an Ancient Statue Location: In the northeastern area of the quest circle. Activate the Ancient Statue with the torch and defeat it.

Return these items to Maru and pick up the next quest, “Thoughtful Pursuits,” from the Tuskarr next to him at the anniversary area. This time, you’ll need to find three items for the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap. Simply activate the Cap and walk past the correct areas to automatically collect these items.

- Benatauk’s Crystal Ocular Lens: Near the Balloon vendor at the entrance to the Caverns of Time.

- Benatauk’s Downy Helmet Liner: Near Taivan in the northwest of the anniversary area, close to the Pet vendors.

- Benatauk’s Thought Calculating Apparatus: Behind the Fashion Frenzy stage in the Barbershop area.

Once you gather these items, return to Benatauk to complete the Guest Relations and Secrets of Azeroth tutorials. Benatauk will then offer the “A Whiff of Help” quest, which lets you buy an item called Spiritual Incense.

Using Spiritual Incense, you can connect with Maru the Junior Sleuth, who provides hints for finding more Secrets of Azeroth and other Guest Relations quest items, like the Celebration Crate collections.

With Chapter 1 complete, you’ll be ready for the next part of the questline when it unlocks on November 4, 2024, or you can start exploring side quests from Alyx, the original quest giver.
