Visit the Scouting Mission Board at your alliance's primary Border Keep to acquire a random Scouting mission. The text on the mission board depends on the destination (see below).

The hardest part of this quest is getting to the enemy-controlled objective. Enemy players wander through the wilderness and will attack you if you are detected. Avoiding forts and common roads is recommended. When you get to the edge of the objective, you get a chance to use a scouting report. You have to stay still for few seconds to write the report.

After that you must return to the mission board to get your reward. Note that once the report is written, the quest won't fail if you are detected and killed, so you are able to bloodport back to base if you do not want to run to the nearest Transitus Shrine.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
