What to do
Description
I've been coming up short on parts recently for my engineering projects, and the other day I finally saw why: the Mosshide gnolls have been making off with them! I don't have any idea what they could possibly want them for, but I need those gizmos back. They're probably strewn all over the marsh by now, but if you see any, could you gather them and bring them back?
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Mosshide Job
You seem trustworthy enough to help me out with my real problem, <name>. I was sent here by Ironforge to recover a shipment of gold ingots. The ingots are part of the Ironforge Royal Treasury, stamped with the royal seal... only an idiot would steal them for profit, far too easy to trace.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hunting Horrorjaw
I've been tempted to go after the big kill... the largest crocolisk out there, Horrorjaw. His hide alone would be enough to get my family out of this hole. But I'm no fool. One mistake and I could lose a leg, or my life, and then where would my wife and kids be?
