A Gronnling Problem

A Gronnling Problem is a Horde-only quest for level 10-40 in Frostfire Ridge. It is step 5 of 14 in the Foothold in a Savage Land storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Frostfire Ridge at 48.7, 64.9. It rewards 5,450 experience and money.

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.

Not 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.

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.
