Dropping Bombs (Alliance)

Dropping Bombs is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-40 in Talador. It is step 7 of 25 in the Establishing your Outpost storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Talador at 69.6, 69.8. It rewards 5,450 experience and money.

Description

The Gordunni have only a single path to their fortress and it is well-defended from a large attack.

Thankfully they wont be expecting just the two of us to be attempting to break in.

This is a great opportunity to take out their defenses and get some target practice for our gunners back at the artillery tower.

Take these smoke grenades and use it to call in an artillery strike on their catapults as we head up.

The last part (the grappling hook) is a little pile of rope on the ground that you need to interact with. Don't use your quest item! Just click on the rope on the ground.

If you're having trouble finding it, it's a few yards away from the blue energy wall.

First bomb the catapults - you can't throw the smoke bombs at the catapults even though they say you can. You have to actually get close enough to click on the catapults before they will be hit by the artillery strike. Then you can run further up the path to meet miall and climb up around the shield wall by clicking on the pile of rope at her feet.

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.

  • Going to the GordunniTalador · Level 20-40

    We have a good supply of jovite now but there just isn't enough of the material in the mine to keep the artillery tower in stock for long. Down south of here there's a mountain that's just full of the stuff but there's one problem; Ogres!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Supply RecoveryTalador · Level 20-40

    We seem to have arrived at just the right time! The Gordunni have been enchanting armaments for the Iron Horde and it looks like they haven't picked up the latest shipment. We could put that gear to far better use in our artillery tower! Lets go hunt down their shipping containers.
