Weapons seem sparse and hard to come by.

"ALms for the poor!"
I'm not sure if the person who designed the quest was thinking biblically, or just of the meme, but it's very well named.
Well done, quest person!

You can't actually click on the Displaced Scavengers. You have to use the Battered Weapons in your bags while targeting the NPC to get quest credit.

Description

This trench is strewn with the remnants of countless attacks upon the Seat of the Primus by forces which threatened the Shadowlands. Each time, Maldraxxus claimed victory. Now scavengers pick at scraps in hopes of buying their way into one of the three remaining houses. In these desperate times, we must gain every advantage possible over our rivals. If we arm these scavengers and offer them a second chance at glory, we can bolster the ranks of the Chosen.

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.

Land of OpportunityMaldraxxus · Level 10-53
<The grandmaster's voice rings out over the roaring crowd.> This is it! The final event of the tournament! These two Maldraxxi gladiators have cut down challenger after challenger. Now the only thing left... Is for one to slay the other!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Walk Among DeathMaldraxxus · Level 10-53
This trench echoes with necromantic energies unleashed in the countless battles waged here. That power has coalesced into chaotic entities we call deathwalkers. In simpler times, we would have sent troops out to subdue them to serve the House of the Chosen.
