Description

These little fellas are ravenous whirlwinds of devouring destruction. When they get going, they consume anything in their path, without even stopping! When sated, they discharge power from them little 'lectric zingers on their heads!

Then they nap.

Lucky for us, we found just the right frequency to control their tiny bug brains. Hit that device, and you can take your own little zapper out for a spin... literally!

Make sure ya bring it back full, so we can keep our rigs charged!

Ok this quest is easy if you just want to do it and forget, but you will get a world quest with exactly the same mechanics A Few More Charges.

And if you complete the quest in 45 seconds or less you can get the achievement Hungry, Hungry Ranishu.
It's the easiest way to complete the achievement, because you can try any number of times you want
Take the quest, and if you don't get the achievement, just drop and take 1 more time.

    Roll over lashers in the area, avoid small tornadoes or you will be thrown into the air and knocked back.

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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Awakened ElementsVol'dun · Level 30-60

    It seems that all of this infernal blasting and hammering has stirred up... something. I heard some screaming from over in that direction. <He gestures vaguely to the north.> If you could go take care of the situation, that would be most appreciated.
