Description

I have cutting to do. I can't tell you what I'm going to cut, but... I need myself a blade. A certain blade...

Some people call it a sword. I call it a swing blade.

You help me? Those fish-men, you know, murlocs or whatever they're called.... There's one they call Razorspine, carries a big sword, lives north of here near the beach. That's the sword I need!

But don't sleep on this. What I'm cutting won't keep forever...

Not sure how to complete... went to exact spot on map and no Razorspine. Searched around the area and no Razorspine. Now searching here and no notes.......

UPDATE: Razorspine is NOT on the "penninsula" with the other murlocs. He is slightly inland along a path between the 2 hill ranges.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Jarl Needs EyesDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Eye juice is good juice for drinking. Too bad most critters only have two eyes. But spiders have lots of eyes. Lots and lots. And Darkmist eye juice is tasty. Smooth and salty! Unpopped spider eyes... I taste them already. Darkmist spiders are west of here, in the Darkmist Cavern.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hungry as an Ogre!Dustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    You meet some people out here sometime. Nice people. Met an ogre once. Ogres get hungry just like me. I'll never forget what he said. He said "Mud big ogre. Me hungry. Go bash fishy. Bring Mud food. You feed Mud or Mud eat you." So I got him those fish and he ate 'em up. That's when I started too.
