The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
It should be noted that you cannot progress beyond this point in the quest line without also doing this quest. You'll pick it up upon entering the cave, I just happened to rush in and overlook it and then wonder why I couldn't progress.
This is 2nd part of the cookie "start to finish" the Putting the Gore in Gorgrond, In the land of Giants and The Iron Approach.
The cookie quest start is A Heavy Helping Hand, you will get [Quest 35233] with this quest.
NOTE: there is a gold Bag @ 43.4,92.4; right of you if facing out of building, above the pulley system apparatus. (had to reload to see it, saw it with Handynotes addon).
You go to the bottom of the "hole" and your NPC will join you when you collect the item to far right (assuming you've cleared the other quest on way down). WAIT for NPC to come down and join you.
Follow up:
Turn in the quest and he'll give you a follow up, missed name:( Run back to the top killing mobs to get outside. You need to kill guy outside. Turn in quest DO NOT hearth to Garrison like you are told. There is a Flight Point south & around the hill right in front of you. Fly back to Highpass and turn in quest. It will send you into a solo Scenario. AFTER scenario everyone leaves you (don't hearth), there is a Flight Point behind you if you died during scenario you rezed there. Fly back to Highpass and BOOM you're done.

Dwarves are dumb. Don't they know that if you dig a deep hole you are going to have goren attack? If you are going to go into that iron fort you better kill a bunch of goren otherwise they are going to chew the walls enough to cause a cave-in. I would do it myself but I'm still stuffed from all that fruit the botani made me eat.

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.
- Doomshot
This ominously large explosive appears to be ammunition for the primary cannon that the Bastion is built around. The loading assembly must be on a lower floor, but this ammo did not make it that far.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Will of the Genesaur
I am pretty sure those dwarves took the artifact in that iron fort there. Are you going to go get it?
