Story observation - my hunter can supposedly 'skin' the Haywire Excavators. Initially I thought this was a bug but does it actually mean the Black Blood is bringing things to life?

I really hope it is, it would be a neat bit of storyteling if so. :)

That is every comment on this page.

Description

I saw many machines nearby, and all of them seem to make dreadful noises. I cannot hear the one that I heard in the vision, though, at least not clearly. Destroy the excess ones. They are only in the way. While you are quieting the scene, I will hunt and scout.

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.

  • Good Help These DaysThe Ringing Deeps · Level 80

    Seeing you here is a welcome surprise! There's something big happening over at Opportunity Point, but it's hard to know what without getting closer to the people working there. I know Haxle's involved. We'll need his paperwork if we want to be able to ask around without trouble.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hey, What's Going On?The Ringing Deeps · Level 80

    Time to do some networking. There's a bunch of goblins outside of Opportunity Point, over there in the Abyssal Excavation. I heard some of them grumbling as they started their shift. Let's see what some friendly words shake loose. While you're out there, check out the used fuel drums.
