Description

The mines in Alterac Valley hold more than just minerals. Both the Frostwolf and Stormpike have cached excess supplies in the Irondeep and Coldtooth mines... that's not a bad idea, if we could only maintain control of them!

Capture a mine, then return to me. To capture a mine, enter one that we do not control and kill its leader. When you do that, the mine will be ours, and we'll send troops to protect it!

Rewards

You will receive:

Experience9,500 XP

To capture a mine, you need to enter the uncontrolled mine and kill the leader (a named mob, instead of mobs with roles like surveyors) inside it. The leader is in the deepest of the mine, usually near a wooden base.

However, I've tried to capture the upper mine (the trogg mine, near alliance camp) but there is no quest credit for me. This needs more comfirmation.

EDIT: After serveral tries, it seems you MUST score a killing blow (ie a last blood) on the boss in order to gain quest credit. So, yeah, it is only possible to have only 1 man in your mine raiding group to gain quest credit.
