Description

So there I was thinkin' about how to get everyone ready for movin' around Argul or whatever it's called, since I figure its gravity is different than ours, and I come up with a design for a device you slip onto your shoes, or hooves or whatever you're wearin' down there. Next thing I hear, the gravity on that planet? Completely the same as ours! Regardless, I figure I could get the prototype workin'. Mind givin' me a hand? Maybe when we're done you can like, sell 'em to kids or somethin'.

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.

<name>, I hear you've been over to that large green planet in the sky already. Swarming with demons too, I hear. I was thinking maybe we could put together another wormhole generator for it. Make it easier to zip around the planet.
