Buying Time

Buying Time is a quest for level 15-30 in Nagrand. It is step 42 of 94 in the Nagrand storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Nagrand at 27.3, 43.1. It rewards 4,100 experience.

Description

As long as the transporters stand, nothing we do to the forge camps will have any permanence. We must find a way to destroy the Legion structures.

I need time to devise a plan of attack. If you can keep their engineers and tinkerers busy, it would greatly slow down their progress, buying me the time I need.

how hard can it be to post the cords? You can do this quest either in Forge Camp Fear or Forge Camp Hate, and they're both located at the western part of Nagrand with the tlocs as follows: Forge Camp Fear - 20.51 and around Forge Camp Hate - 25.37 and around

Bit of information on these mobs. The tinkerers come in packs of 4 at a time. Seem to be leashed to one another. The engineers sometimes cast the magnetic pull spell which pulls someone to them, making them hard to kite. This only happened once of the 3 kites I did solo on them so I'm not sure if it was just a bug, or if its just something they do very rarely. Its definitely less common from them then it is on the next to quest encounters in the chain. The Legionnaires are just a straight melee type elite, hit fairly hard.. Not something to go toe to toe with unless you have a bit of backup.

You can also enslave one of the Felguard Legionnaire, kill the mobs needed, and then send it for the overseer and run back and turn it in... Quest should be done within 5 mins. Other classes might need help tho, as the Felguards hits for 700-ish dmg on a lvl66 Clothie
