What to do

StorylineIcecrown, step 87 of 167

Description

Effective tool, is it not? Excellent job weakening their defenses, {class}. Now we can push the main assault. The plan here is straight-foward - we're looking to destroy anything moving, and get in there and steal some information amidst the confusion. Let me know when you're ready and I'll set you up with a skeletal gryphon.

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.

  • From Whence They CameIcecrown · Level 25-30

    My main concern is the saronite quarry down the path to the southwest. They are pulling up immense amounts of ore from that quarry and I'd like to know what they're building with it. To that end, we'll start by weakening their defenses.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Amidst the ConfusionIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Shutting down their operation is just half of the plan. The other important goal here is to find out where all that saronite is being sent. We know of a few places it's been ending up, but the amount they're pulling out suggests to me that there's a bigger project in the works.
