Note that if you're a class whose primary armor type isn't Leather or Mail, you won't get any boots, contrary to what Drizzlik said.
"Great! Thanks to your help I'll have this order filled and sent off to Director Riddlevox on the next boat to Undermine."
I thought Deathwing destroyed Kezan?

What to do
Description
With the inside finished, all that's left is to add the outer layer. For this, I use only the best elder croc skins. They are more durable and a better canvas--if you will--for adding the designs and accents that make Drizzlik's Excelsior line. It's hard to find that perfect skin though, the only one that fits my plan is the skin of an elder snapjaw crocolisk. Find them to the south, near the border with the cape.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raptor Prowess
A particularly cagey brand of raptor, known by locals as the "Jungle Stalker", prowls the forests to the south, across the river. They are far more difficult to track down and kill than the other breeds you've been trying your luck at.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tiger Mastery
Legends speak of an elusive tigress... a feline so powerful that she dwarfs even the elder males. The hunters at Nesingwary's Expedition have hunted for her without success. Many of them have fallen prey to her raking claws, their bodies now decaying at the foot of her hill, north of Grom'gol.
