Explosives Shredding

Explosives Shredding is an Alliance-only quest for level 7-30 in Ashenvale. It is step 46 of 50 in the Ashenvale, Alliance storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ashenvale at 83.9, 62.6. It rewards 5 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

I hate to send you back in there, but based on your description of what's going on, we can't let them use all of those explosives they have stored up!

It's too dangerous for you to try to destroy them yourself, but if you were to steal one of their shredders, I'm sure they're tough enough to withstand the explosions.

After you've destroyed their explosives, return here with the shredder. There's no sense in letting them have it back.

  • Destroy the LegionAshenvale · Level 7-30

After this quest

  • Closure is Only NaturalAshenvale · Level 7-30

    Through the ground I can feel more demons being brought into our world. Soon there will be too many and we will be overrun without hope of turning them back. Take this piece of me and return to Demon Fall Canyon and Demon Fall Ridge, south of Felfire Hill.
