Description

The armory is lost to the traitors. All we have left are these few cannons with no ammunition. Soldier, I need you to recover cannonballs so we can get these things running. Actually, one more cannon wouldn't hurt, either.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Punishable by DeathSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Traitors, the lot! You're looking at the last bastion of forces still loyal to Admiral Taylor and the Alliance. I'll be damned if the defectors get away clean. You look like you're ready. Show them how we deal with their kind during times of war.

After this quest

  • Admiral TaylorSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Admiral Taylor had figured out who was behind all this. He told us to save who we could... he wanted to handle matters himself. We never heard from him again, but we have our orders. Please... please find him. He went towards the farm.
