TheWoWDBNot that it's a huge deal, but I would suggest you finish killing your last frostfire gronnling before marking your last tree to be cut down for Back to Work (the other quest you will receive at the same time). The reason I suggest this is because as soon as you have marked your final tree all of the tree's in the area will be cut down, and this slightly obstructs your ability to find frostfire gronnlings.
Quest
A Gronnling Problem
A World of Warcraft quest in Frostfire Ridge. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Mobs are currently faction taggable, which helps with the amount of people in the area.
Quest doesn't have to be completed before the Garrison is built and as such once the Garrison is built the quest is not completable since the Gronnlings no longer spawn. So the question is, how do we get this quest completed?

Description
It's gonna be quite a task to build you a fortress if there's gronnlings rampaging around. I don't think anyone else here can handle taking those big beasts out, so you might need to take care of it yourself.

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.
