Improvised Survival

Improvised Survival is an Alliance-only quest for level 50. It is step 9 of 16 in the Blood on the Sand storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 41.1, 72.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 6,800 experience and money.

Description

The entirety of our copter's hold was reserved for bombs. There's actually still a lot of bombs left inside. Unfortunately, that meant that we weren't able to pack sufficient water and rations for our survival.

Desert natives hoard supplies efficiently. I'm certain the Zandalari trolls up ahead wouldn't miss a few lost supplies.

Where to go

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Message to the ZandalariLevel 50

    I know we're here to hunt the Horde, but this is an opportunity. Exiles or not, these are Zandalari trolls, and the Zandalari have all but put in their lot with the Horde. Let's show them what we do to friends of the Horde.

After this quest

  • They Have Alpacas HereLevel 50

    Did you see? Did you see them? The floofy alpacas?! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A... I mean, ahh, ahem! I would like to acquire an alpaca. To study. For scientific reasons. Nothing to do with floofiness at all. Here, this should help you wrangle one back here.
