A 3 part quest turn-in problem.

When I tried doing these quests one time, the turn-in icons on the map are deceiving. The icons arn't quite where the NPC for turn-in really are.

The quests in question are:

A Charming Deception.
Echo Hunter.
Syth's Secret.

For those of you that are having trouble turning these quests in, the coordinates for the completion NPC are at 48:44.

Adherents will only spawn if you don't have an illusion when collecting a charm. Since the quest requires collecting charms and not killing adherents, and since the adherents are weak enough to be easily killed without shattering the illusion, you can save a bit of effort by picking up charms within the 30 second buff

It will take you couple of seconds before the mob is spawned. While waiting, pull the Echo Hunter for the Echo Hunters. The explosion will damage both the Echo Hunters and the mob spawned.

If, like me, you're running HandyNotes-Draenor Treasures, and you're trying to turn in the quests A Charming Deception, Syth's Secret, and/or Terrokar Wayshrine, the turn-in is right underneath the Gift of Anzu rare crossbow. The icon for it covers up the question mark on your mini-map.

Oh, but won't they be surprised when the illusion fades? Kee-hee-hee!

A Charming Deception

Use 5 Illusion Charms to draw out Adherent Harriers.

	Illusion Charm (5)

Description

Reshad is more than he appears; a mottled old crow with his beak in a book, certainly, but we need him.

Shadows gather beneath the lonely spire, in Veil Terokk. Reshad must make it there safely.

Along the path you'll find charms primed with illusion spells. You need only touch them to take on Reshad's image.

Adherent assassins are on the prowl for an old outcast with scrolls on his back. They will fall upon you.

Oh, but won't they be surprised when the illusion fades?! Kee-hee-hee!
