Quest Log

Lumber Hack

Lumber Hack is a quest for level 15-30 in Dragonblight. It is step 142 of 149 in the Dragonblight storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Crystalsong Forest at 33.2, 99.4. It rewards 6 reward items, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Next up, we need to haul in some lumber for all the towers the Alliance are building. There are some thin trees to the south, but the trees the harpies are nesting in to the north look much more fit for structures.

Take this. When you get to the harpy nesting area, use the control and one of my Shredders should come to you. Gather as much lumber as it can carry. The harpies are sure to disagree with you chopping down their homes - just deal with them as necessary.

Hop to it!

You must be standing right up against the X on the tree in order to harvest lumber from said tree.
You can only harvest 3-5 lumber at a time.
Do this quest along with Harp on This!.

There is a bug with this quest where you will board the Shredder, but will be unable to use any of it's abilities. I was too lazy to figure out the exact cause of the problem but what I did was dismiss my pet (I'm a Felguard/sl/sl Warlock) and then disable all my add-ons and then the Shredder worked.
The add-ons I use are: Afflicted, Broker Factions, Cartographer, CCWatcher, Cirk's Rebar, MSBT, Omen, Outfitter, Postal, Proximo, Quartz, Recount, Telo's Lootlink, TitanBar, Trav's UFE, and Deadly Boss Mods.
If any enterprising player wants to look into this bug then one of those add-ons (or combination of them) prevents you from using the Shredder's abilities, even though you can summon and mount it.

If you have any kind of actionbar replacement addon and you are having trouble using the shredder disable it, when i turned off Dominos it started to work just fine
