Head to the Burning Blade Ruins and you'll find an abundant amount of these mobs. Suggest pairing this quest with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9910 .

Not really, or not necessarily, at any rate. The phrase "message in a bottle" has a long history, and dates MUCH farther back than The Police.

What to do

StorylineNagrand, step 27 of 94

Rewards4,100 XP

Description

Ogres are moved by one thing: Might. If we expose ourselves to them as being weak, they will take advantage of that weakness and wipe us out. Garrosh might be ready to lie down and let the ogre dogs take our lands but I am not! I need you to deliver a message to the Boulderfist, {name}. The only type of message that they are capable of understanding: Brutality. Travel to the Burning Blade Ruins, southeast of here and show them the might of the Mag'har. And {name}, check in with the others before leaving.

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.
