Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Raging River RideNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30
Enjoy your cut of the loot, <name>! I hate to share, but business is business. And that double-dealer Nozzlepot is guaranteed a 10% cut of this treasure. Can you deliver this to him at his outpost in the north? He's got a little research station upstream, along the river.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Samophlange RepairNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30
Well that didn't go as expected. I think I busted it. No need to panic, though. Do me a favor and walk this across the way to Brak here in the camp. He'll bang this sucker back into shape real quick!
