The game showed me gear rewards for this quest, which I sorely needed on the alt I was playing, but completeling the quest did not give me the gear. It did unlock it in the wardrobe however but I did not get the item, and I see that Wowhead does not list any gear reward at all, weird.

EDIT: Looks like I have the gear in my bags now. I think it appeared after I eventually relogged way later after the quest.

Description

This is not a good day! Not at all. My whole shipment of barrier projectors was ransacked! Most of them are gone, and it seems whatever the culprits didn't take, they destroyed. These barrier projectors are essential for securing the wild places on K'aresh, and even the city of Tazavesh. Our efforts are in jeopardy! Please, if you can find any of my shipments it would help us get our efforts back on track.

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.

  • Beasts UnboundK'aresh · Level 80

    I am Ta'ka, supplier of rare creatures destined to repopulate my homeland. At least, I was until some of them escaped their translocation cages! This cannot stand! These creatures are vital. If you could assist me with capturing them, I'd be quite appreciative. Engage them in combat and subdue them.

After this quest

  • The Darkness Among UsK'aresh · Level 80

    Alleria, <name>... Have you sensed it? The Void lingers in all of this. Whoever is pulling the strings is cloaked in shadow, hiding from us. Come, let's seek them out and drag them into the light before they strike.
