RewardsFat Finger Gloves, Gretel's Pendant, Heavyhands' Gloves, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Unfortunately, I can't dish out the beats like I used to, due to this here fat finger problem. Ye see, the climate out here combined with the lack o' air pressure makes me fingers expand. They're like gigantic Thelsamar Blood Sausages, they are... Ye're gonna have to carry out me orders of business and what have ye. First on me agenda: Poundin' the livin' daylights out o' the heavy war golems o' the Gorge. Get crackin'.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Heat That Just Don't QuitSearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    We smith, we smelt, we roast up whatever spider meat we can get. Bush chicken if we're lucky. Point is, all o' this work means we need lots and lots of fire. Good thing we're smack dab in the middle of firetown. O' course, the best fire comes from the elementals.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rasha'krakSearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    Based on this information you've delivered, I believe that one of this "Archduke's" minions may already have turned its eyes toward Thorium Point. His name is Rasha'krak, and he patrols the lava pools just to our south.
