Description

Hey, <name>, I'm not usually one for revenge, but I've got an idea.

That big guy who tossed us around ran up this way. I'll bet you good money it's in the mines somewhere, and I bet we could get a giant sample off its body. That'd set me up real nice for future tinkering.

Besides, taking it out means it won't come back, and I'd like to finish this gig intact. I've got bills to pay, and kids to feed!

Try the shrink ray on that hunk o' rock. Show it who's boss! For science, of course.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Experimental ApplicationUndermine · Level 80

    <Jazz shoves the shrink ray into your hands.> Only thing left to do is test the prototype, <name>. Try using it on the elementals! If it can work on those, it'll work on anything, probably. Don't expect the effects to last, though. It's only a first iteration! And keep contained to the mines.

After this quest

  • Kaja'ConclusionsUndermine · Level 80

    You've really helped me out here, <name>, but I need one more teeny tiny favor from you. <Jazz hands over an envelope stuffed to the brim with schematics and paper reports.> Could ya get this to my contract agent, Kory Hoxx? He'll get it to HQ.
