Hit Them Where it Hurts

Hit Them Where it Hurts is a quest for level 25-30 in The Storm Peaks. It is step 47 of 113 in The Storm Peaks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Storm Peaks at 31.3, 38.2. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Bouldercrag's got a good plan to stymie the efforts of the iron dwarves at Narvir's Cradle, and I've got an idea of my own. Work on the iron colossus will come to a halt without any artisans.

Narvir's Cradle is on the south side of the hill sheltering Bouldercrag's Refuge. Go there and slay any stormforged artificers in your path. They may be no different from what we once were, but they build a weapon that threatens us all.

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.

  • Destroy the Forges!The Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    In my folly, I'd thought Valduran's project at Narvir's Cradle, a large construction area to the south, no more than a grotesque monument to "Keeper" Loken's cruelty. Now we know the truth, that it was meant to be used as a weapon against us and our allies.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Colossal ThreatThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    You've done an excellent job of delaying the work on the iron colossus, but I fear we've only made the stormforged more determined to complete the weapon. Even now, they're bringing in new laborers and the overseers push them to the limit.
