Description

While I was scouting out the area, I saw a big armored naga bossing the rest of the snakes around. Call it a hunch, but I'm pretty sure he's their leader. As long as the Naga have a commander our operations here will be threatened. Take him out.

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.

  • There Is No Plan "B"Nazmir · Level 20-60

    Look, I'll be honest with you. Our mech, the A.M.O.D., was the best we've ever made. It was mobile. It was powerful. It was one of a kind! What I'm trying to say is, without it, our whole plan is ruined! We have to salvage and rebuild it! That big oaf of a sea giant broke the A.M.O.D.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pilfering and FencingNazmir · Level 20-60

    Our ships are sunk. Our A.M.O.D.'s gone. We've lost a LOT on this mission... and the Bilgewater Cartel don't offer insurance. The debt collectors will be all over us! We gotta make up for these losses. The beach is swarmin' with naga tryin' to collect artifacts from the ruins.
