Description

He turned into one of them... didn't he? How do we even begin to fight an enemy that can do this to us?

My father's arsenal's certainly a good start, I suppose.

Worgen are hiding in the alleys ahead. Take one of my mastiffs to find them more easily.

We're going to need to clear the way ahead if we're going to move these cannons above ground.

Just did this as a level 4 Hunter and kept getting "Your pet is out of range" when clicking the ability to attract the Bloodfang Lurker. Finally abandoned and when I accepted again I and my pet were on the stairs above the quest giver. When I stayed near the hatch the ability worked, except for once when it said the target was not in the line of sight. If I strayed too far from the hatch and tried to attract the Bloodfang Lurker I would get the "pet is out of range" and would again have to move near the hatch to get it working again. Dismissing the mastiff you're given from the quest giver also makes the attraction skill disappear, so that wasn't a solution.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rebel Lord's ArsenalGilneas City · Level 1-20

    The arsenal Crowley speaks of is in the cellar of a building just west of here. It is unnerving that artillery was smuggled inside the city by my enemies, yet it might end up saving Gilnean lives today. Find Josiah Avery and requisition the rebel artillery. We will put the weapons to good use.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Message to GreymaneGilneas City · Level 1-20

    It's time, <name>. We'll take it from here. Tell King Greymane that my father's arsenal will be at his disposal. There's more than enough firepower here to blow the worgen from here to the north sea.

The storyline at a glance

Gilneas has 100 steps, from Lockdown! to Rut'theran Village.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Gilneas (89), Gilneas City (11).

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
