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.
- Iron Them Out
The orcs themselves are not the only threat. We may have weakened them considerably, but they still have siege weapons of significant power. Sabotage siege weapons you find with the explosives you collected from the beach.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Born to Shred
The Iron Shredder is operational! It should be primed and ready for you to shred our enemies in Tuurem! Head inside and see what damage you can do. Can't say I'm not jealous.
