Escape Velocity

Escape Velocity is a quest for level 1-20 in The Lost Isles. It is step 67 of 72 in The Lost Isles storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Lost Isles at 44.2, 25.3. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 2,750 experience and money.

Description

We really don't have time to rescue those that are incompetent enough to get themselves captured over and over. Still, since I have some extra rockets leftover, this problem should be a snap.

Take these single-stage booster rockets down into the Slave Pits to the north and put them on the cages.

The cage will lift off into orbit and those idiots will be freed.
