I must report that this quest was overwhelmingly dull. When i pushed the big red button, i expected a massive explosion that would sink the oil rig into the sea, instead, i got a puny explosion sound and a lot of things cought on fire. How boring!

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.

  • Release the ValvesThe Lost Isles · Level 1-20

    We have to stop Trade Prince Gallywix's oil supply and bring his machines to a grinding halt. We're going to need you to go out to the KTC Oil Platform and release the valves to overload the coolant system. After you do that, head to the platform control panel on the platform and set it to blow.

After this quest

  • The Slave PitsThe Lost Isles · Level 1-20

    Sassy's over at the Slave Pits. She's there with the orcs getting ready to execute the final play on the Trade Prince. <name>, take the footbomb uniform up the road to the southwest and find her. I know she's going to want you to lead the charge! Ack, I'm starting to talk like the coach now!
