Dead Drop

Dead Drop is a quest for level 60 in Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. It is step 7 of 10 in the Tazavesh: The Veiled Market storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bastion at 32.5, 32.3. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

Ta'nla requested something very... specific... on behalf of a client.

The kyrian have been working on a new type of centurion they call an aquilon. I sent some of our trade specialists to retrieve the prototype in question, but they have yet to return.

Until I have the item, there is obviously no way I can ship it to Ta'nla. Perhaps we can help one another.

If you can locate the aquilon and bring it here, I will help you reach Tazavesh.

When going down into the area at the start of Dead Drop, there is an NPC that you need to get to follow you. If you run all the way down into the cave and he hasn't followed you, run back up the ramp or you will not get credit when killing the mob.

If you're coming back to do this in Dragonflight or higher, kill the NPC very slowly or else he won't become subdued for you to mount. If you kill him, you have to abandon the quest and pick it up again. If you don't abandon quest, he will never subdue. He will just go dormant and despawn.

This quest apparently has a minimum ilvl because my 150 rogue is merely tickling it and it's bending me over.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Above My StationTazavesh, the Veiled Market · Level 60
While I indeed know the location of the Veiled Market, I fear I can do little in terms of providing you with transportation to it. In return for your assistance with a task, I can send you to someone who can assist us both.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Coins for the FerrymanTazavesh, the Veiled Market · Level 60
Your side of the deal is done, Maw Walker. Now for your payment. My cartel runs a ferry that travels between Oribos and Tazavesh. Its purpose is to transport cargo, but as in all things, there are... exceptions. Take this coin to Ta'meri and you will be provided safe passage to the market.
