A World of Warcraft quest in Maldraxxus. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If (like me) you were trying (and failing) to be taught where more of the siege artillery was, a lot can be found at 50.88 63.89. The bubble on the minimap is woefully small.
I want my two dollars!
