Paint it Black (Alliance)

Paint it Black is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-10 in New Tinkertown. It is step 35 of 37 in the Gnomeregan storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,400 experience and money.

Description

We have reliable intelligence that Razlo Crushcog has taken up a defensive position on the island in the middle of frozen Iceflow Lake. To make matters worse, he's surrounded himself with a network of sentry-bots that will detect any possible attackers.

If we're to take on Crushcog, we'll need to take out those sentries. This device launches a dark, sticky paint that will coat the optical sensors of Crushcog's sentry-bots. Use it to take out his early warning system.
