Quest Log

Bio-Fuel

Bio-Fuel is an Alliance-only quest for level 30-35 in Abyssal Depths. It is step 1 of 43 in the Vashj'ir, Abyssal Depths storyline, the opening step. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Submarine fuel is expensive!

The powers-that-be in Gnomeregan were generous enough to deliver several fuel barrels, but we're burning through it faster than expected. That means we're going to need to improvise.

It's a well-known fact that sea creatures are full of all kinds of interesting chemicals... like oil. Take this device up to Kothrun's End and stick it into the corpses of terrapins, remoras, and hammerhead sharks. If we don't get more submarine fuel, their oil might be our only hope.

Because nobody has added a Component List yet, I thought I'd add mine.

I had to conjure a fuel out of:

2x Remora Oil
3x Hammerhead Oil

For it to be succesfull.

If this does not work for you, do not fear. The quest giver tells you each and every time what it needs more/less of each time you turn in the fuel.

Both the quest description and the comments appear to be from the beta.

If your playing the release version of the quest that starts out: "Use the oil extrusion pumps on the corpses...."

swim out of the cave, up the cliff , directly on top of where the cave is, and everything you need is in that area.

kill it, use thing of a ma jig..

happy cata

    How much do you know about fuel, <name>? Constructing the perfect fuel is a tricky job, as there's plenty of factors to balance: chrono-pyroxidation parameters, tempero-incendiary variables, conflagrational siltification criteria... and that's only naming a few.
