Do not underestimate this quest! It is one of the preliminary quests, which will lead you to Twilight Highlands, upon reaching level 84.

I needed badly to do the chain, due to fact that I needed the enchanthing rod recipe to be able to craft highest level enchanthing (above 500) which is sold by a belf vendor there, whom you won't get any acces, unless you are directed there by this chain.

I had a hard time finding her. The way I eventually did is by going down where the airborne priests are. Then hopping on a flying mount right out in front. She's towards the left but she faces towards the inside of the boat.

Description

I gave Hellscream my personal guarantee that I'd have his airfleet ready this week, but our flagship - The Spear of Durotar - still doesn't have its primary engines installed. Fleep promised me a dangerously shiny new engine last week. Go to her junkyard behind the bank and find out what the holdup is. The airfleet is waiting on us, {name}!

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where Is My Warfleet?Orgrimmar · Level 30-35

    The Highlands are the home of the Dragonmaw orcs. If we show them our might they would ally with us against the Twilight's Hammer. I am certain! The fleet is gathering at Bilgewater Port in Azshara but there are reports of delays.

After 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.
