Well gosh, as you can plainly see there's this really big battle with these pirates here going on. We're doing our best to make sure they never bother Gadgetzan or our new gnomish homes there ever again!

By killing them.

So how about helping us? We really wanna make sure we kill more than green-nose over there and her awful thugs. I'd really appreciate it!

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.

  • Rocket RescueTanaris · Level 15-30

    When the water came in, Steamwheedle Port to the east was flooded, and a lot of poor goblins are still stuck there! Now those mean pirates are shooting at any boat that leaves the docks here. But they won't expect us to fly! There's a hot air balloon by the docks.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To The Ground!Tanaris · Level 15-30

    You know, this place would probably make a great home for us gnomes if it wasn't so old and dirty and full of pirates! We're taking care of the pirates problem, but the awful and dirty problem needs fixing. I mean, no self-respecting gnome would ever live in such an ugly hovel like these buildings!
