Description

The High Commander's intelligence was confident that Trade Prince Gallywix is currently in Zuldazar, but my trackers could not locate him within the Bilgewater camp. He's most likely somewhere nearby. Goblins do not work for free. Someone is bound to be bossing around the rest of those miners. Locate whoever is in charge, eliminate them, and search for anything that might tell us where Gallywix is.

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.
