Explosive Bonding Compound

Explosive Bonding Compound is a quest for level 30-35 in Deepholm. It is step 2 of 57 in the Deepholm, War & Gunships storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Deepholm at 46.5, 57.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

This guy's the son of the Earthen leader! He almost made it to the temple when he got ambushed by more rock flayers than I can count!

We know that the Earthen Stonefather has the middle fragment of the World Pillar. Maybe if we were to heal his son, the Stonefather would give us the fragment?

My heals won't work on Flint here. But if we were to get some of the quartzite resin off of these monsters, I think I can make an explosive compound that will bond and cauterize his wounds.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where's Goldmine?Deepholm · Level 30-35

    My goblin initiate has been gone for quite some time. His name is Goldmine. I sent him out to observe the local rock flayers southwest at the Quartzite Basin. Perhaps you would be willing to find him? When you do, please ask him to come back to the temple.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Something that BurnsDeepholm · Level 30-35

    Alright, we need something that's going to make the compound go, "Boom"! I'm all out of gun powder, but I think I know what we can use instead... the heart of my fire elemental! Here, take my fire totem east to the Blood Trail.
