Description

You're a lifesaver, I'll tell you what. Say, how about you go on ahead to the excavation site and let my sister know I'm on my way. I'll get everything neat and tidy and go get a new cart to lug these over.

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.

  • Sticky SituationSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    We were hauling batteries to the excavation site and I crashed my freakin' car! My sister didn't even look back. I took the turn a little fast, so what? It happens! Point is, the batteries went flying everywhere and I'm in no condition to lift them out. So what do you say? Wanna help me out?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • All NaturalSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    So you have a smuggler's den, huh? I'd love to trade with ya, toots, I really would, but my laser cannon isn't even functional right now. I'll tell you what. See all the ancients around here? They got toasted good by the arakkoa's weapon, and they're practically walking piles of charcoal.
