Quest Log

Powder Play

Powder Play is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Southern Barrens. It is step 47 of 89 in the Southern Barrens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Southern Barrens at 49.5, 67.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Our shipments of saltpeter from Dustwallow have been held up, which means we can't manufacture our own gunpowder here.

But I can retrofit our armaments to use goblin Blast-O powder. It's unstable, dangerous, toxic to the skin, and harmful if swallowed... but I think I can make it work!

Get me a keg of the stuff by attacking one of those goblin sapper specialists who've been storming our walls.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pick-a-PartSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    These bulky dwarven siege engines aren't cut out for the close-quarters fighting of the Battlescar. I've got some new designs I'd like to try out, but first I'm going to need some spare parts. There's plenty of wreckage sitting in the Battlescar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Batteries Not Yet IncludedSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Okay! Using the spare parts you've found for me, I've got a framework roughed out for my versatile new assault vehicle. All I need now is a compact power supply. I've noticed that the indigenous wildlife here packs quite the punch, electrostatically speaking.
