To find the four props, travel to the Starlight Amphitheater in Ardenweald and complete the follow-up quest The Show Must Go On. The items are spread around the stage, backstage area, seating, and musicians’ section. Start with Alyx’s Not Ready on Set, then speak to Dapperdew in Ardenweald.
How to start the quest chain
Not Ready on Set is the first quest in a two-part chain. Pick it up from Alyx at approximately 63.0, 50.2. The quest sends you to Dapperdew, who is at approximately 41.5, 44.8 in Ardenweald. Dapperdew then offers The Show Must Go On, which asks you to recover the four props around the Starlight Amphitheater. Wowhead’s quest text describes the problem: “We’ve had a bit of a mishap with the script and various stage props.”
Getting to Ardenweald
A route described in a 2024 guide is to travel through Oribos from the Stormwind or Orgrimmar portal room, then fly to Ardenweald. Access to the Ardenweald flight path may require completing part of the Shadowlands leveling campaign; if you cannot reach the zone, asking another player for a summon may help. A Dornogal portal route was reported for The War Within Season One, but that route is season-specific and should not be assumed to be available now. Siliconera’s guide
Where to find all four props
Coordinates below are approximate, reported for Ardenweald map #1565. Use the landmarks to identify each item if your coordinates differ slightly.
#1 Best Overall
| Prop | Approximate coordinates | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Mask of the Trickster | 41.20, 43.75 | Move away from the main stage area and look behind the prop barrier near a pink light. |
| Play Script | 41.25, 42.79 | Go backstage and up the ramp. The script is on a table in the upper backstage area. |
| Prop Sword | 42.23, 46.76 | Search the seating area below the Winter Queen’s large throne, behind a bench. |
| Conductor’s Baton | 43.29, 46.44 | Check the musicians’ area near the large drum; the baton is on the ground in front of it, across from Master Clerk Salorn. |
These landmarks and approximate locations are reported by Siliconera and the Warcraft Wiki.
Turn in the props
Once you have all four objects, return to Dapperdew to complete The Show Must Go On. Siliconera reports that completion awards five Bronze Celebration Tokens and contributes to the “The Case of Staged Disaster” section of the “Assistant to the Assistant Guest Relations Manager” achievement.
