StorylineHellfire Peninsula, step 70 of 103
RewardsPeon Sleep Potion, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Why would fel orcs steal my shredder parts? I hate them so much. They just sneak into my camp here and take things all the time. A couple of days ago they stole three of my peons! Now the rest of my peons have run off because they are afraid they are going to be eaten by fel orcs. I can't run a mine without peons. If you could save the peons that I lost maybe the others would come back. The fel orcs have their camps along the wall to the southwest.

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.

  • Outland Sucks!Hellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    I can't believe I left Booty Bay to come to Outland. My cousin Screed Luckheed promised me I would make a fortune, but instead he flew off in his zeppelin and left me here to try to scrape a living out of this mine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shizz WorkHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    I finally got my shredder working but I seem to have lost the keys. I keep a pack of felhounds to protect my camp. They don't do a very good job and they like to bite me a lot. They also like shiny things. I think this one felhound I have may have eaten my shredder keys.
