StorylineThe Lost Isles, step 64 of 72
Rewards5g 35s, 2,750 XP
Description
We have to stop Trade Prince Gallywix's oil supply and bring his machines to a grinding halt. We're going to need you to go out to the KTC Oil Platform and release the valves to overload the coolant system. After you do that, head to the platform control panel on the platform and set it to blow.
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.
- What Kind of Name is Chip, Anyway?
Dude! You're never going to guess who's out on the oil platform to the north. <Ace shakes head in disbelief.> Chip's out there, and he's working for the Trade Prince. That traitor's now working for the other team. But worse, I heard he's got something goin' on with Candy Cane!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Good-bye, Sweet Oil
There is single big, red button on the platform control console. Clearly if ever there were a button to cause massive explosions, that is it!
