I Know The Drill!

I Know The Drill! is a Horde-only quest for level 40. It is step 2 of 7 in the Garrison Campaign storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Frostfire Ridge at 80.0, 56.2. It rewards 1,350 experience and money.

Description

It's a machine alright. A drill - a BIG one! Fortunately, we don't have to take apart the whole thing.

They're relying on forced induction, using twin superchargers to pipe extra boost into the engine. Without that boost, the drill is useless.

Get in there and open the clutch on the back of the drill. That'll draw some attention away from the turbines.

I'll take care of the turbines - you just worry about the hordes of bloodthirsty orcs.

If you can't see Kruk & Nakeeta:

Received this quest today and at first about four of us were standing around to kill Kruk and Nakeeta but couldn't see them.

So I abandoned the quest, ran back to Gazlowe, dismounted, accepted the quest, ran over to the drill clutch (not mounted) and then Kruk & Nakeeta appeared for everyone and we completed the quest.

You can complete the rest of the quests mounted.

This is for Horde btw, don't know if Alliance had any issues with this quest.
