Greer Orehammer is the Flight Path master up and around the mini wall, talk to him and he will send you off with a stack of 10 bombs.

You make two passes over New Agamand, the tanks are the wagon looking things.

Do NOT miss this quest, I repeat: do NOT miss this quest.

This is the most rewarding quest in the entire zone Howling Fjord:

* It gives no less than 25150 experience at 70, whereas most quests in the zone give at the best 20100 experience points.

* On top of that, it nets you a good chunk of reputation +350 with Valiance Expedition, whereas most quests in the zone will only give you +250 at the best.

* You will get a green item out of it, even if the item isn't that great to your class/spec or depending on the gear you acquired in TBC, you will either a) have the possibility to sell the item to a vendor for another 5 gold or b) have the possibility to disenchant it, given you are an enchanter, indeed.

* And now the cherry on top; this quest will give you no less than 9g40s as well, whereas the majority of quests in the area will at the best reward you with 4g40s...

Out of every quests that are available to Alliance characters in Howling Fjord, this one is the most rewarding one. ;-)

Do not miss this one. ;-)

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.
