if he's friendly to you and you got as confused as I did trying to wonder why walking up to him simply doesnt agro him on to you
you need to actually stand on him whilst in a shredder and press 1 to start cutting him down

Description

How's that shredder holding up? I think I can bring your emergency power supplies online - that'll recharge you when you're wounded. Listen, these night elves are being strengthened by an ancient of war who's taken root just west of the gates. He's a big, giant tree. You know what to do! Take him out! You were made for this!!

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.

    Mountainfoot iron is a brittle alloy, but with the right bribes it meets goblin safety standards. Zignibble here is having trouble on the production end of things, but that doesn't change any of my deadlines. I've got a quota to fill!
