Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Smoot's SamophlangeAzshara · Level 30-35

  It was the Captain who insisted his new engines use an induction samophlange. Those things hadn't even been invented yet! I tasked Smoot with creating one based on some stolen Venture Company schematics, and he's finally built a working model.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Ready the Ground TroopsAzshara · Level 30-35

  It was a bad idea to muster the troops in this festering goblin metropolis. Every vice that coin can buy is within arm's reach. Our mighty veterans are running rampant, blowing years of Northrend back-pay in a city-wide debacle.
