An Economic Opportunity

An Economic Opportunity is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 1 of 6 in the Smuggler's Cove storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 20.6, 46.2. It rewards 1,000 experience and money.

Description

You look savvy enough to jump on an opportunity when one comes by and, pal, do I have one for you.

See that cove down there? It's run by entrepreneurs with an eye towards meeting the logistical shortfalls that might come up in your typical city or town situation. Well, it's normally run by them.

We have a bit of an infestation by folks who are more mercenary minded if you catch my meaning.

You help me win back control of the cove and I'll see you're treated well. Sound good?

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.
