StorylineStonetalon Mountains, Alliance, step 23 of 48
Rewards2,050 XP

Description

Mirkfallon Lake is crawling with Horde. The goblins have set up shop and they aren't going to leave until all the oil under Stonetalon is sucked dry. Thankfully I have a gnome on the inside that's been collecting information for us. If anyone knows what's going on with that bomb, it's my inside gnome. Make your way to the Sludgewerks, north of here, and find Minx. She'll be disguised as a "goblin" pump controller.

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.

  • Bombs Away: Mirkfallon Post!Stonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Scout Commander Barus, stationed at Mirkfallon Post, to the northwest, has spotted the Horde bomb. The Krom'gar hot air balloon, with bomb attached, is currently at the new goblin fueling station at Mirkfallon Lake. This might be the opportunity we need to take that thing out once and for all.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • It's Up There!Stonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Listen, I've been tracking this bomb since you rescued me in Ashenvale. Whatever they're doing with it is going to happen real soon. At the top of the large oil rig is a control room. Inside that control room you'll find a Krom'gar log book. That log book is the key to where this bomb is heading.
