What to do
Description
And with that, our mission is done. Let's verify that Guzbert and Kelsey return safely from their demo sites, and then we can head back to friendlier shores.
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.

Still, we've placed all those explosives, and there's nothing stopping us from detonating them and laying waste to the Horde's excavations. Speak with Zoidfuse when you're ready, and we'll get this explosive gnome tech going!
