Description

Alright, I need you to help me find my dumpy level.

What's that look for? That's right! I said my dumpy level! It's a piece of significant surveying equipment!

I didn't name the bloody thing, alright? Go look it up! All I did was leave it on a rock long enough for one of those horrible oozes to swallow it up. The place is crawling with 'em, but one of them should still have it inside.

To be fair, I looked it up as well.

Well of course! It says right in the quest instructions, "Go look it up!" Anyone who didn't, failed to follow the instructions. ;)

That said, he lies. Not about the name, but he said one of the oozes took it. I killed all of them, and none of them had it. I eventually abandoned the quest. I suspect he pawned it off to buy ale and doesn't want to admit it...

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Drungeld GlowerglareWetlands · Level 10-30

    The Dark Iron clan is up to no good out here. And if that surprises you, you're thicker than the addled blotters over in that tent. Muradin may pay lip service to those sooty cretins back in Ironforge, but out here all bets are off.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fenbush BerriesWetlands · Level 10-30

    We're good on provisions, but we're in need of some medicine. Half the camp's fiercely hung over, and a remedy's in order. Luckily, I know a good folk remedy taught to me by my dear old mum. We just need some local ingredients. Gather me some fenbush berries, if you would.
