Description

Hello, good sir! Do you have a moment?

My brother and I run an apothecary in Stormwind, and I'm here to gather large candles for their wax. Can you help me?

You can get large candles from kobolds, and I hear rumors that kobolds are infesting the Elwynn mines... the Fargodeep Mine to the south and Jasperlode Mine to the east. I suggest looking for candles in one of those places.

do this along with Gold Dust Exchange, The Fargodeep Mine and Lost Necklace, which is also in Fargodeep Mine where you need to do some chain quests then kill Goldtooth. Lost Necklace starts at "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield whom is at 34,83 or Stonefield Farm for those of you who doesn't have a coordinate addon

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Gold Dust ExchangeElwynn Forest · Level 1-30
The kobolds in these parts sometimes carry Gold Dust on them. I could really use the stuff - bring me a load of it and I'll give you the best price in town...best price in town! You can find kobolds in the Fargodeep Mine to the south, and around the Jasperlode Mine to the northeast.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Fargodeep MineElwynn Forest · Level 1-30
The mine in Northshire isn't the only one with problems! I have reports that the Fargodeep Mine in Elwynn has also become a haven for Kobolds. Explore the mine and confirm these reports, then return to me. The mine is almost due south of Goldshire, between the Stonefield and Maclure homesteads.
