Hilary’s Necklace is in a pile of Glinting Mud on the bed of Lake Everstill, just west of Lakeshire in Redridge Mountains, at about 21, 54 on the zone map. You have to swim down to it. Shawn gives the quest and Hilary takes the necklace back, and both stand together at the water’s edge in Lakeshire, at about 24, 53.
The mud has more than one spawn spot, so if you dive and find nothing at 21, 54, it is at another one in the lake. Below is where to pick up the quest, where the necklace is, what to do when it is missing, and what you get, all for World of Warcraft: Forever.
Where to Pick Up the Quest
“Hilary’s Necklace” is a level 15 Alliance quest that you can take from level 12. Shawn gives it at the water’s edge in Lakeshire, the town on Lake Everstill, at about 24, 53. Hilary stands right next to Shawn, so the pickup and the hand-in are in the same spot.
Shawn’s quest text sets it up: “My friend Hilary lost her necklace, and we can’t find it. We’ve been fishing all day right here, and we looked around here already. The only thing I can think of is that it fell into the lake.” The objective reads: “Find Hilary’s Necklace, and return it to Hilary in Lakeshire.”
Redridge Mountains is an Alliance zone from about level 15; our zone level ranges guide shows where it sits in a leveling route. Lakeshire has a flight path, so pick it up when you arrive, and our flight paths guide explains how to learn the rest.
Where Hilary’s Necklace Is
| What | Where | Map position |
|---|---|---|
| Shawn (quest giver) | Lakeshire, at the water’s edge | About 24, 53 |
| Glinting Mud with the necklace | Bed of Lake Everstill, just west of Lakeshire | About 21, 54 |
| Hilary (hand-in) | Next to Shawn in Lakeshire | About 24, 53 |
The necklace is not lying loose on the lake bed. It is inside a small pile of Glinting Mud underwater, and you loot the mud like a chest to get it. From Shawn, head west along the shore for a short swim and then dive.
How to Get It, Step by Step
- Take the quest from Shawn in Lakeshire.
- Walk west along the shore to about 21, 54 and swim out over the spot.
- Dive to the lake bed and look for a small mound of mud that glints. Open your map as you swim to line up with the coordinates.
- Loot the Glinting Mud to take Hilary’s Necklace.
- Swim back up before your breath bar runs out, and return to Lakeshire.
- Hand the necklace to Hilary, beside Shawn.
If the Necklace Is Not There
The Glinting Mud has several spawn spots in the lake, and it is only at one of them at a time. If you reach 21, 54 and see nothing on the lake bed, someone may have just looted it there, or it is sitting at another spot.
- Search the lake bed nearby. Swim along the bottom around 21, 54 rather than surfacing and diving again in the same spot.
- Watch for other players. If someone else is diving in the same area, the mud may have just been taken. Give it a little time to respawn.
- Use the map. The built-in quest helper marks objective areas on your world map for tracked quests; our guide to turning on the quest helper shows how to switch it on if you do not see them. Questie can also show objective spots, and our Questie guide covers setting it up.
Shawn also warns that “there’s some mean things underwater,” so keep your health up before you dive and do not pull more enemies than you can handle while holding your breath.
What You Get
Hilary’s Necklace rewards experience and reputation with Stormwind. It is a short quest that pays for the swim, and it sits in the same town as the rest of Lakeshire’s early quests, so take it with them.
