A Little Off the Top is a quest for level 73-75 in The Ringing Deeps. It is step 2 of 3 in the Abysmal Extraction storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Ringing Deeps at 59.6, 79.2. It rewards 12,400 experience and money.

Description

Ever seen a deepstrider before? This one sure ain't happy to see us. Made quick work of the shredders that made it past the moles. Real shame, those pilots are gonna have to work overtime to pay off the damages.

Now if someone were to take care of it and bring back something as proof, well, I'm sure there'd be a nice payday.

this quest is a reference to the movie Princess Mononoke, a Studio Ghibli film in which the antagonist cut off the head of the spirit of the forest that looks like a strange deer, the spirit then turns into a spirit goo creature and goes wild until the protagonists return his head. which is exactly what you do in this quest chain.

moreover the entire movie is a commentary on industry destroying nature which is a running theme for the goblins

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tired of TrippingThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    All that's between us and the juiciest excavation site I've ever seen is a couple of moles and a leggy deer. Sorry, getting ahead of myself. See these shredders? State of the art in the field of maiming and killing. And they keep getting stuck in holes!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Put it Back, Put it Back!The Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    It's going to ruin everything! Who wants to visit a resort with a thirty-foot tall ghost-deer? Ok, no need to panic. It's probably just a little miffed you took its skull. First, you gotta get rid of some of these slimes. Then, get that skull out of here. The farther the better.
