Drain Schematics is a quest for level 10-30 in Zangarmarsh. It is step 5 of 64 in the Zangarmarsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zangarmarsh at 78.4, 62.0. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.
Description
The schematics you've obtained show an underground system of drains and pumps that connect the lakes in the region to Serpent Lake.
If the schematics are correct, there is a giant drain in the center of Serpent Lake. Confirm this and bring the news to Cenarion Refuge.
All you need to do is swim to the entrance to Coilfang Reservoir - tloc 50, 40(swim down about 100 feet). Quest rewards are excellent, especially for the amount of effort required.
Note that you need to be on the quest Balance Must Be Preserved before it will drop. It is a followup from Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake available from the NPC [npc=17841] at level 61. Even though the questitem says only level 59 is required, you still need a quest which is level 61 minimum.
After reading most of the comments I thought I couldent get the quest item anymore sense I had already completed the quest they say is required to get the item to drop. But while I was doing a Sporeggar quest I pulled a bunch of mobs and killed them. The schematic dropped but not off an overseer ( I have previously finished the Pump quest). I dont know what to make of it. Mine dropped off a Naga Enchantress North of Sporregar.
An exploratory force sent to Outland by the Cenarion Circle to study surviving life forms. The Cenarion Expedition has quickly gained in size and autonomy since the opening of the Dark Portal.
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Zangarmarsh, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Getting there
Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Zangarmarsh:
Swamprat Post, ZangarmarshHorde · about 400 yards north-east
Telredor, ZangarmarshAlliance · about 640 yards north-west
Temple of Telhamat, Hellfire PeninsulaAlliance · about 1,300 yards east
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
Objective areaabout 1,100 yards north-west
Objective areaabout 2,700 yards west
Objective areaabout 1,600 yards north-west
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
I cannot begin to comprehend why the naga would drain the water out of their own habitat. What I do understand is a need to put a stop to their operations. These seeds carry with them the rage of the earth. Take them to the steam pumps operated by the naga and use them on their controls.
The Cenarion Expedition has become a large organization with a good degree of autonomy. These events are important enough that we need to warn the Cenarion Circle. Do not worry, I will not ask you to travel back to Moonglade; we have emissaries as nearby as Hellfire Peninsula.
