Lazy Prospectors!

Lazy Prospectors! is a Horde-only quest for level 45 in Silithus: The Wound. It is step 11 of 29 in the Silithus: The Wound storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Silithus at 65.9, 54.7. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

I've been around long enough to know you can never trust a goblin with an orc's work.

Gallywix and his cartel may be serving the warchief, but we need to keep a close eye on them if we're going to get anything done!

I've already noticed many of the workers loafing about and sleeping on the job. The Horde does not tolerate laziness!

Get out there and put those lazy prospectors in their place!

First quest might only pop up after killing Argus once on that account. Relog should help, if it does not show up for you or close your client completely, if you have done step 9 and The Speaker's Call does not trigger (as described here).
You can switch the zone phasing at Zidormi, if you can't see your quest giver in Silithus.

If you just want to empower your artifacts quickly, you can skip the optional quests.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • No Spies AllowedSilithus: The Wound · Level 45

    Hey <name>, I'm glad you're here. I'm in way over my head! Killer bugs, a strange substance... that GIANT sword sticking outta the ground... I don't have a good feelin' about this place! To make matters worse, I've been gettin' reports of Alliance spies snoopin' around the camp!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Desert ResearchSilithus: The Wound · Level 45

    The dark blade of Sargeras has cast a shadow of destruction over this land. It seemed that the silithid hives were destroyed in the attack, but I have received reports that the silithid are returning. If it were up to me, I'd burn those wretched hives once and for all! However, it is not up to me.
