This was bugged for me. After the cutscene, the quest turnin was phased. I abandoned it, and the quest accept was also phased. I had to quit wow and re open to get the quest back. I also had to quit wow and re open to turn the quest in after the cutscene.

I was having difficulty triggering the scene to start once I was behind the "fake rock" which was actually the wooden rock beside the fake trees. THEN I had to roll around until the cursor changed to a hand and clicked on it. I believe it was on the rock. Once I clicked on it, the scene started.

Description

Bad news. We're late. The Alliance was already crawling all over the vault when we got here. Lucky for us, some big commotion inside sent some of 'em running for the hills. Most of 'em are still down in that vault, though, including that crazy braggart Tinkmaster Overspark. Let's give 'em a few more minutes to clear out, so we don't have to go in guns blazing.

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.

  • The Legend of MechagonMechagon · Level 10-60

    Heya, <name>. I was just tellin' Skaggit that I was hoping I'd run into you up here! I caught wind of an Alliance operation into some old vault that opened in Tiragarde Sound.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This is Our Vault NowMechagon · Level 10-60

    Looks like the coast is clear with Overspark gone. Let's get inside that vault and see what's really going on here. Mechagon or not, there'd better be some quality hardware in there to make this trip worth our time.
