What to do
Description
I think we've kept Hansel waiting long enough. Can you take me to him? Then we can all hitch a ride out of here on the mole machine.
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.
- Privileged Information
I'm not the only prize the Iron Horde brought back after raiding my workshop. Overlord Blackhammer, the maniac in charge of this operation, took my notebook as his own personal treasure. Manufacturing techniques; schematics for new inventions; embarrassing doodles. It's got all my secrets!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- "Mole Machine, Go Home"
My patented "Come to Papa" voice command was only the first step. I also programmed all of my mole machines with a "Go Home" command that'll send 'em auto-diggin' to a pre-determined location - my workshop in Gorgrond!
