Welcome to our Guest Relations Secret Event Guide! There’s a new secret-finding event in World of Warcraft to celebrate the game’s 20th Anniversary. Each week, players will be given new clues to follow to solve an ongoing mystery. Don’t worry if you miss out on a week or get started late – you will still be able to unlock everything as long as you do so before the event ends.

The first set of clues unlocked on October 28th, with another set due to arrive on November 4th. We’ll continue to update this guide until all has been revealed! The event is expected to last through the end of the Anniversary on January 6th.

Often a thankless job, guest relations has a new volunteer, Alyx, stepping into the role with the lofty hopes of doing a better job than their predecessor. As visitors pour into the celebration, Alyx is under pressure and could use a little help making it an event to remember. Thankfully, they have found a secret-sleuthing tuskarr family who have become the perfect helpers in getting players up to speed with the tools of the secrets trade.

Assist Alyx each week with resolving new guest mysteries by using your new secret-finding skills, and be on the lookout for stolen celebration goods. Follow the rumors and solve the mystery— if you can. We’re counting on you, secret finders.

Players can begin working on the initial secrets beginning on October 28 with additional secrets opening up on November 4.

Guest Relations Storyline

You will need to complete this storyline to earn the achievement I Saved the Party and All I Got Was This Lousy Hat.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 of the storyline became available on October 28th.

Lost and Busy

To get started, head to the 20th Anniversary celebration grounds in Tanaris and speak with Alyx inside the main tent (63.0, 50.2). She offers the quest Lost and Busy.

This quest points you to a tuskarr child, Maru, near Leeryo’s chicken stand (63.2, 52.4). He will give you the quest Tat Big Meanie.

Tat Big Meanie

Maru wants you to help him investigate some clues. You can speak with Maru again throughout this chapter to ask for a (Hint). You will also have the Idol of Ohn’ahra special ability (and later a toy) that will help you detect clues around the celebration grounds. You won’t need either if you’re following this guide!

Here are the four items you need to find:

Head just a little to the west to find the small tent with the two Trauma Surgeon NPCs and look for a note tacked to a post. Click on it to get the item Hear Historic Tales at the Storyteller Stage!
On the other side of the same tent, you’ll find some Red Hair on the ground (62.1, 51.8). Pick it up.
Now head over to the Storyteller Stage and look for a red vulpera named Ratts who is seated on one of the benches (64.0, 51.7). Speak with them and choose any option to be directed to the next step.
Now head behind the Fashion Frenzy stage and locate a Strange Torch on the ground near the outhouse (63.6, 47.9).

Head back to Maru with the items you’ve collected to receive your reward, an Idol of Ohn’ahra toy and 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens. Maru will then give you the quest To da Ruins!

To Da Ruins!

This quest directs you to the Valley of the Watchers in the southwest of Tanaris, where you’ll find Maru waiting for you near the entrance to Uldum (35.1, 78.2). Speak with them to progress to the next quest, Da Stick of Revealing.

Da Stick of Revealing

You’ll have a Flame Bearer special ability – use this and follow Maru to the Ruins of Uldum. Turn in the quest to get your Torch of Pyrreth toy. Then pick up the next quest, Tweasure Hunt.

Tweasure Hunt

Open your Toy Box in the Collections interface and activate the Torch of Pyrreth. You’ll need to have this active to collect the following items.

Head east to Southmoon Ruins. On the east side of the ruins you’ll find a rock of Crystallized Mucus (42.2, 72.0). Get close to it with the torch out and you’ll summon a Tanaris Sandworm that will drop Cool Guts when killed.
Get close to the statue head on the north side (40.9, 70.5) and a Jeweled Eye will appear that you can pick up.
Next, head northeast to Eastmoon Ruins, where you’ll find a locked Half-Buried Chest (45.0, 64.6). Getting close with your torch active will unlock it and allow you to loot a Golden Chalice.
Now go further northeast to Broken Pillar, where an Ancient Statue waits (52.3, 45.4). Get close with your torch out to activate it and defeat it to loot a Fragment of an Ancient Statue.

Travel back to the celebration grounds to turn in the quest to Maru in his original spot beside Leeroy’s stand. You’ll receive 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens. Now, Benatauk will offer the next quest, Thoughtful Pursuits (he is standing right beside Maru).

Again you will be able to speak with Maru to ask for a (Hint), and you will also have a special ability, Tricked-Out Thinking Cap, but you will not need either if you follow this guide.

First, head slightly north to the balloon vendor (64.2, 50.1) and you will automatically pick up Benatauk’s Crystal Ocular Lenses.
Then go behind the Fashion Frenzy stage to where the barber is located (63.6, 48.4) to automatically pick up Benatauk’s Thought Calculating Apparatus.
Finally, visit Taivan at Pet Paradise (61.5, 50.5) to automatically get Benatauk’s Downy Helmet Liner.

Head back to Benatauk and turn in the quest to receive a Tricked-Out Thinking Cap toy and 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens. This will also earn you the achievement Tools of the Trade as well as the Bronze Tweed Cap cosmetic. Benatauk then offers the quset A Whiff of Help.
