Derailment (Horde)

Derailment is a Horde-only quest for level 40. The quest's turn-in marker is in Gorgrond at 56.8, 17.2. It rewards 1,350 experience and money.

Description

Some orcs have spoken out against Gul'dan, and they've been taken prisoner. One of them is what you'd call an engineering prodigy: Solog Roark, "The Iron Shipwright." This guy's good. Designed all these docks, as well as the big dreadnaughts you fought around Shattrath.

If my scouts are right, he's in a prison train as we speak... And I betcha he'd be willing to defect!

Gather up some explosives and meet Durotan next to the train to the south.

If you can't find the desires items like I did at first..

Detonator: 51,44/14,27
For the people without coords:
If you remember the enormous open space after the first boss, Fleshrender Nok'gar in iron docks, where you could use those big iron stars at the mobs ahead. It's at the left end from that of this big platform (at the water) at the stairs, next to a container and a huge bomb.

Explosives: 56,42/15,14
For the people without coords:
Up the ramp after you've seen Yrel (or after the Grimrail enforcers (the 3 bosses-encounter in iron docks) if you remember the dungeon) then walk next to the rails. When the rails end, the first left. Left right after again on that dock place and there they are.

If you don't have flight and you happen to leave the area without completing this quest like I did, you can return by taking the flight path back, then turn north and go around the coast back to the inlet where Sammy Fivefingers stands on the east side. Then just resume the quest from there.

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.
