What to do

StorylineRockcrawler Chasm, step 1 of 5

Rewards20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

The drogbar use these caves as a place to train fledgling worms. The rockcrawlers are young and fairly weak, for now, but in time they will grow in size and strength. Without our intervention, the worms will morph into the monstrosities that the drogbar ride into battle. Their guts are also known to be quite useful, and I have need of them. Two worms, one stone.

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.
