Some day, you tall, humanoid sons-of-orcs, we Gnomes will have our revenge....

Nobody said it better than the great gnome, Walter Cogvacs, when he said,

"Stormwind City is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended canals and the canals are full of muck and when the drains finally clog up, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their cybering and player killing will foam up about their waists and all the humans and night elves will look down and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look up and whisper 'No.'"

Description

<The gnomecorder hums.> The first order of business is a romp through the Redridge Canyons, directly north of Lakeshire. Kill every gnome that you see... woops, did I say gnome? I meant gnoll. Kill every GNOLL that you see and take their collars as proof of deed. I must warn you, {name}; while you are out there, watch out for ettins. My scouts have reported seeing huge, bloodthirsty ettins roaming the canyons lately. Stay out of their way if you want to remain alive. Solomon out. I'll be in touch.

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.

  • Tuning the GnomecorderRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    The gnomecorder looks to be in working order. I've got you all hooked up, now we just need to tune the gnomecorder for reception. Head north out of Lakeshire and follow the road up to the graveyard. Once you reach the graveyard I'll attempt to transmit.
