Description

Great news! Foreman Dampwick has uncovered a cave full of kaja'mite on the island! What are the odds?

Of course, there's a downside. He took some of the survivors with him to help mine the ore, but none of them have made it out.

Crazy as it sounds, the foreman said that there are monkeys in the cave... with mining picks! They're mining the kaja'mite! How is that even possible?

Can you head southeast to the cavern? The foreman is standing just outside the entrance.

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.
