Do this quest BEFORE you complete the "hunting"/slain quests in Nesingwary Base Camp.

And that's because the follow-up quest (The Great Hunter's Challenge) asks you to kill "60 Game Animals" i.e. the animals you are asked to slain in the "hunting" quests of Nesingwary Base Camp.

Description

So you think you can shoot? Well, let's give it a try. Here, we'll start you out with something nice and gentle. Don't worry, it's got no kick to it at all. Remember, don't point that gun at anything you don't intend to fire at. Now, when you're ready, just take aim at that apple on top o' old Lucky Wilhelm's head and let 'er fly!

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.

    We must send Foreman Swindlegrin packing if we're going to shut down his mine permanently, but be careful. His bodyguard, Meatpie, is a large, mean ogre, and isn't likely to let you see the foreman without a fight.
