Fargo Flintlocke is in Stormheim this time.

Full quest chain under the spoiler.
You can see how far you are in the storyline.

SpoilerRight now wowhead doesn't have all the quests. Engineering was so heavily gated, that no one really tested it on Beta. I'll update links after wowhead DB update

Description

{name}, I need you to help me track down Flintlocke again. I sent him to Stormheim to gather some materials for an invention of mine and he hasn't been back for days. I'm not worried about Flintlocke, but I DO fear for Stormheim. See if you can find him!

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.
