How to get the Khaz Algar Lore Hunter achievement in World of Warcraft: The War Within

Throughout the new lands of Khaz Algar, there are a number of interesting lore-heavy tidbits to find. These aren’t part of a quest or a cutscene, but they can help flesh out the backstory of this new island we’re exploring.
Recommended VideosThe achievement doesn’t offer any particular rewards other than 10 achievement points for your warband. And the satisfaction of knowing more about this world than everyone else! While there are no strict requirements for finding these items, Azj-Kahet can prove particularly dangerous to lower-level characters. Either go level up or have a good escape plan ready.
The name of each item and where it’s located can be found below. The maps have red dots indicating the specific locations of each item.
Isle of Dorn lore items
The starting area for the new expansion is quite expansive, but these items aren’t terribly difficult to locate. You should be able to make quick work of these.

The first underground zone is surprisingly populated with gorgeous and varied landscapes. The items here are a little trickier to find, but this guide should help you hunt them down.

While none of these items in particular are going to explain the big glowing crystal hanging in the ceiling, they’re still great bits of lore. Hallowfall is a bit dangerous if you’re under level 75, but you should be fine reaching most of these without a fight anyway.

You’ll want to be careful acquiring these items if you’re not yet max level. This zone is for level 78-80 characters and can be quite deadly to those still in their early 70’s. The Weathered Shadecaster, in particular, is surrounded by some fierce enemies, so take care!
