Quest Log

Nine's Plan

Nine's Plan is a Horde-only quest for level 5-30 in Azshara. It is step 33 of 88 in the Azshara storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azshara at 42.2, 76.1. It rewards 4,100 experience.

Description

My benefactors used their diminutive intellect to construct an interplanetary transport. As designed, this so-called "Rocket" is a death trap. But I suspect a simple re-engineering of the fuel catalyst semifold would render a stable mixture, providing a breathable oxygen byproduct. To implement such changes, I require the original engineering plans.

Locate the Laboratory Archives and ring the doorbell to gain entry. The plans will be held by the lab director himself, presuming he still lives.

At first, this quest was confusing me greatly, as I could not find the Lab Director or the plans. After a bit of time searching, I noticed that there was a Buzzer outside the second most-eastern building of the Secret Lab (It is the one with a bank vault lock as a door). You will want to click this Buzzer in order to spawn the Lab Director, whom you kill for the plans. As of now, the Director will only drop one set of plans per kill, so if you are grouped be sure to spawn him once per person. There does not appear to be a respawn timer on the Lab Director.

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.

  • Segmentation Fault: Core DumpedAzshara · Level 5-30

    Once we flush the central reactor, I need you to return the core to me. It's 100% refined azsharite crystal, which is both powerful and dangerous. And lovely. Oh precious azsharite, the shaper of worlds to come! The giant lever to your left will dump the core and send it to me via the rail system.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Raptor Raptor RocketAzshara · Level 5-30

    Shortly after my intellect was augmented, I bred with Subject Four in order to create a unique race of cognitively superior raptors. Subsequently, Subject Four neither called nor wrote: I have determined to disembowel him upon our next encounter.
