Profitability Scouting

Profitability Scouting is a Horde-only quest for level 5-30 in Azshara. It is step 17 of 88 in the Azshara storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azshara at 29.5, 57.7. It rewards 3 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Things seem to be quieting down a bit. Gallywix will probably keep forking out cash to keep us posted here, but I have a feeling we might be able to milk a bit more out of the deal.

Naga and Sea Giants aren't normally friends, so the naga must be controlling them somehow. Take this stealth field generator, get in those ruins, and let me know if you find something that looks really pricey.

The heart is at 32,50.

If you're trying to get there but keep losing the stealth, there is a path you can follow through the minefield, down the middle, starting at 27,54. at the bottom, just avoid pats and walk around the buildings to the Naga statue.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In The Face!Azshara · Level 5-30

    The naga are using those giants to stamp paths through our minefields. Time to put that SFG to use! Head over to the entrance to the southern minefield - I think you can figure out the rest.

  • Private ChatAzshara · Level 5-30

    Look... one last favor before you run off. Private Worcester is still back at that tower "recruiting." Go and let him know that we're good to pack it up now. Back to town. Pleasure working with you, recruit.
