You acquire this quest from Thrall.

For this quest, you’ll notice there’s a bar that needs to be filled up. There are several different ways to increase the bar to 100%.

The first is to interact with the catapult supplies in the area. This is one of the easiest things to do as long as no enemies are nearby and increases the bar by 8%.

The other three ways are to defeat the enemies scattered about. Ogre Bashers will give a 7% increase to the bar. Gnoll Biters give 4%. The Ettin Crushers are elite mobs and give a whopping 25%, so clearly, you know what to aim for.

Just know that they do take longer to kill than the normal mobs, and also hit harder.

There may be other enemies, and if there are, I didn’t attack them.

Once you’ve hit 100%, turn in the quest to Thrall just outside Ar’gorok.

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Saving Stromgarde KeepLevel 10-90

    The plans you found indicate the ogres are trying to get food to supply a massive attack on Stromgarde Keep! Or they're trying to use the crops to keep guarding an object named a storm. The translation was loose. It's safe to assume our problem is the former. Let's go!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Catapult BombardmentLevel 10-90

    These catapults are relentless. They must be destroyed. Place these rune stones at their base. It'll unleash arcane magic to turn the catapults to dust. I'll take out a few as well as I make my way across the battlefield.
