Delaying Their Efforts

Delaying Their Efforts is a quest for level 50-60, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The Scourge continue to replenish their weapons of war from blighted grounds. Stopping their workers slows their production, but a decisive blow to their stockpiles would be far more effective.

Take these and head to the area southeast of here. Plant the bombs, then make a quick exit.

Weakening their supply lines should provide us ample time to retaliate.

Spent a good few minutes looking for an item to use in my inventory... D'oh.
The things you need to use are in the world, and are transparent yellow bombs.

Bombs are on the ground inside the circles on the map. Just have to click on them.
