Description
Few people know the Blackrock clan better than Dark Iron dwarves. So after Tanaan, we sent a bunch of mole machines to Gorgrond to build a listenin' post to keep an eye on them. Me own mole machine got way off course an' I got separated. It didn't take long to figure out all the other mole machines got off course as well. Accordin' to the readin's in me tank, a mole machine surfaced somewhere way to the west of here. Mind scoutin' ahead while we get this tank operational?

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.
- Rescue Rangari
Many of our rangari have not been accounted for. It would seem the followers of Iyu have taken captives. We will continue to search the area for survivors. In the meantime, follow the Wildwood Wash west toward Highpass and look for any signs of our rangari comrades.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- We Need An Outpost
Commander, we've gathered enough materials to build an outpost that will support our mission against the Iron Horde. How shall we proceed? A lumber yard would be valuable for gathering resources in the dense overgrowth to the south, and in confronting the plant monstrosities that defend it.
