Description

The workers in Irontree Cavern below us have been driven out already. Something else has overtaken the cave. This works in our favor. I spotted at least a few of them dropping explosives as they fled... explosives we'll need for the next part of our plan. Enter the cave and salvage any abandoned bombs you can find. When you're finished with that and the pump, we'll begin our final assault.

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.

  • Slap and CapFelwood · Level 15-30

    Oh for... not again! If you heard the deputy yelling out there, that means we've got a fullblown oil leak on our hands! It's those filthy worgen again! Listen, it's going to be total chaos out there. Sleep-deprived goblins running around screaming and not knowing what to do.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Is Your Oil Running?Felwood · Level 15-30

    Last time we had an oil leak this bad, the oil itself tried to get away! I don't know what does it, maybe all the demon goop floating around here, but when we get a big enough crude leak half of it globs together and tries to run away. That's profit trying to escape!
