Quest: A Crumpled Up Note

Objectives

You may have just stumbled on to something that Marshal Windsor would be interested in seeing. There may be hope, after all.

Description

The note has stains covering its surface. The text is barely legible, but you make out the following:

...sweet irony...

...the fall of the broken Alliance...

...if it were not for General Angerforge's diligence, we may have never discovered the pattern to the encryption...

...Argelmach is almost done with the decryption of Windsor's notes.

Our lord will rise from the depths and crush any that remain...

-Emperor Dagran Thaurissan.

Progress

<Marshal Windsor eyes the note in your hand.>

What do you have there, <name>?

Completion

<Marshal Windsor takes the note and begins reading.>

Additional Notes

After you talk to Marshal Maxwell, the chain seems to end. You must go back to Blackrock depths and kill enemies until one of them drops the crumpled note. It is a random drop, but luckily does not seem to take long to get. When you do find it, you must take it to Marshal Windsor, who is still sitting in his jail cell in Blackrock Depths.

Can you do this without going back to Maxwell?

So you go into BRD to talk to Marshal Windsor after doing the True Master quest chain. You talk to him. Now can you get the crumpled note off a mob in BRD or do you have to go to Maxwell, and then the Crumpled Note will start dropping?

It's hard enough to find groups for BRD to do the quests (everybody wants to grind the bosses for loot) without having to fight your way to Windsor and then have to leave to talk to someone else who doesn't even give you a new quest (if I didn't look here I would have thought I did something wrong)and then go back and fight my way to Windsor AGAIN (hopefully with the note dropping along the way).

So, can you do the Talk to Maxwell part later or what?

Who cares how many you had to grind.. What the hell is if for.. and Who does it go to? Doesn't say much in the note.. and there is certainly no help in all the postings here.

It is for attunement to the onyxia instance, You can not get the note without talking to Windsor, and once you get it you must go back to Windsor.

This does not drop from UBRS mobs. Just go DOWNSTAIRS (caps) and kill the slaves. dropped on my 6. slave 16/11-06.

But i understand those who mindlessly grind the mobs outside the UBRS entrance, another note drops there (quartermaster´s note to maxwell so you can go kill drakki for you "eye of the beast" trinket)and i guess people (like me) confuse the 2.

Grinded it an hour with a rogue (me 55 him 56) yesterday at ubrs... and killed the quartermaster so many times he started evade bugging. Rogue got frustrated and DC`ed. so i never got to tell him i found this info on alla. Hope hes not there when i go to my first UBRS run, or i will have to tell him then.

Just did this portion a second time, dropped first kill. Droprate is very high, says it is low because there are many people that have killed these mobs that don't have the correct part of the quest chain done, or have already finished it etc.

So as long as you have done the quest up to this point, the note should drop very quickly.
