Description

Look, babe, you should be able to see what's happening here pretty easily. There's pirates, there's goblins, the goblins are fighting the pirates. There's some sad little gnomes trying to fight the pirates too.

I'll make it nice and simple for you: we need to kill a lot of pirates. Go do that, 'kay? We don't want the gnomes killing more than us, after all.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rocket RescueTanaris · Level 15-30

    Alright, <name>. We've done enough small jobs around here; it's time to seal the deal. The ruins of Steamwheedle Port are still full of hapless Steamwheedle goblins, waiting to be rescued. Every single one of them is a potential future customer.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To The Ground!Tanaris · Level 15-30

    I've conducted a thorough appraisal of the real estate here and, unfortunately, its market value is just far too low to be of any use. We're going to have to renovate. Luckily for you, I've learned a few things about arson. Hopefully you have too!
