Wtf? Quest is marked as 45-50-55, meaning that by 55 it is supposed to turn trivial, right? I mean, it happens between lv45 legion and lv50 BfA?.. But it's lv60 for me right now, and the buggers are tough. I'm lv60 resto\balance druid, never used chromie times, current ilv 158 (timewalking), but I feel like I'm lv3 vanilla baby all over again. Time to kill a single prospector is insane. Dots do like 200-300 per tick, while mobs have 35k hp (I'm about 22k), and pulling more than one at a time means trouble. Their scaling thing IS broken.
The Level Scaling on the Goblins is Broken since the Shadowlands patch 9.0 and 9.1. I was a level 59 rogue that was unable to solo the mobs, especially if I aggro'd two.
I did Party Sync with a level 40 rogue friend. FINALLY able to kill the mobs! Find a low level friend and drag them to help you! :)

Description
The crown has ordered SI:7 to infiltrate the goblin mining operation and collect any information we can find on this mysterious new substance. My agents have infiltrated the camp, but the clock is ticking and we need to get our hands on some extracted ore samples fast. In other words, I need someone who can take the direct approach. Someone who can handle a fight against overwhelming odds and come out alive. Take the ore samples to Khargus Stonemantle for analysis when you return.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- It's a Sabotage
The Horde has wasted no time in shamelessly extracting this mysterious ore from the great wound. Luckily for us, goblin engineering is not nearly as sophisticated as what we create in Gnomeregan! All it takes is a little bit of old fashioned dynamite to completely disable a goblin shredder.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Desert Research
The dark blade of Sargeras has cast a shadow of destruction over this land. It seemed that the silithid hives were destroyed in the attack, but I have received reports that the silithid are returning.
