Description

Hope you're not afraid of getting dirty. Judging by the looks of you, that won't be a problem. To the north, at the lava's edge, you'll find piles of dark mud. I need it. It'd be best if you didn't ask questions, and focused your efforts on following orders, {name}.

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.

  • A Future ProjectBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    According to my father, we'll need worg hides, and lots of them. It doesn't matter if they're torn, burned, or bloody, but we need plenty of them. Actually, it's probably better if they're a little beat-up. You'll find worgs both to the west and to the east of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sand, the Cider, and the OrbBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Colonel Troteman is waiting for us to the east. Before we head out though, we need to gather some more stuff. This time, you'll be taking it from a warlock by the name of Gorzeeki Wildeyes. You'll probably find him to the northwest, near the Altar of Storms. Tell him he's going to help us out.
