You are a pro when it comes to speaking kobold, but if you try to be sophisticated, your subjects will not understand you and will come up with these replies:

- Boss make up words? Me no understand!
- Boss ok? Boss hit head and talk weird?
- Wax what? Boss talk gibberish.
- Boss no sound like kobold.

To be honest, I expected one kobold to actually understand only the "sophisticated" option, but nope :(

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.
