It Was The Orcs, Honest!

It Was The Orcs, Honest! is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Borean Tundra. It is step 122 of 182 in the Borean Tundra storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Borean Tundra at 57.6, 18.7. It rewards 5 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

With all of those outfits you, er, recovered, I fashioned a Warsong orc disguise. I had the genius idea of combining it with some old stuff that I had left hanging around from last Hallows' End, so it should be foolproof!

Here, in this sack is the disguise and the banner you recovered. Head down into the bowels of Magmoth and slay the magnataur chieftain, Magmothregar.

If you're going to convince them to turn their attention on the Warsong orcs, you'll need to plant the banner while disguised.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Plan BBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Okay, don't panic! The blaster might not've worked, but we still have options. <Crafty snaps her fingers.> We're going to divert attention away from the airstrip! To make this work, we'll need a few things first.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Re-CursiveBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    If you listened to the old man, then you know that we have gnomes out there that were changed. Gearmaster Mechazod infected them with something that reversed the "Curse of the Flesh", and now they're robots! We think we have a way to re-curse them back to normal.
