Description

Bah! You're lucky I'm short-handed today. Otherwise I'd make you my personal whipping boy for the week.

The officers and high-ranking soldiers need their boots polished. They've left them out in front of their huts.

I want to see my reflection in those boots, grunt! Get to work!

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.

    Undercover work is all about swagger. Just act like you're supposed to be there, and you'll be fine. Your contact inside Black Tooth Hovel will be an orc by the name of Quartermaster Kaoshin. He does NOT know you're a spy, so try and stay cool. Do whatever he asks of you.
