Description

Knowing kobolds, they will have several workmasters, or leaders, running this raid. Find and eliminate these so-called "workmasters." The rest of them will get disorganized, forget why they are here, and hopefully leave us alone.

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.

  • The Great CollapseIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    Now that we landed a mighty blow, it is time to make sure that we block their tunnels so they cannot come back. Remember the stuff that Korgran asked about? Explosive sticks--his recipe. I have brought enough to shake a mountain! More than enough for the kobolds.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Who Runs This Fine Establishment?Isle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    While you were dealing with the tunnels and the workmasters, I saw a peculiar kobold go into a cave to the northwest. The kobolds seemed to respect him more than the others, calling him Grand-Heister Bokk and offering him the food you call "cheese." This makes me think he is the real mastermind.
