Setting Up the Bomb (Horde)

Setting Up the Bomb is a Horde-only quest for level 25-30 in Shadowmoon Valley. It is step 33 of 147 in the Shadowmoon Valley storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Shadowmoon Valley at 30.4, 32.4. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We can't allow the Legion to trample us on their march to Black Temple.

Find a way to destroy the infernals they intend to use against us. That's not a request, <name>; it's an order.

The Fetid Pool near Legion Hold holds an old fel reaver power core you could use as the basis for a kind of fel bomb. Search the other wreckage near the fel reaver for a section of armor plating. You should be able to make a bomb powerful enough to take out those infernals and give the hold a nice shake!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Legion HoldShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The fortress of Legion Hold is your target. You'll have no reinforcements, so a frontal attack is out of the question. What little information we have shows that the Legion stocks and prepares its infernals at the hold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blast the Infernals!Shadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The device we've assembled won't win any beauty contests, but it should be capable of destroying the infernals amassed at Legion Hold. Judging from what the fel reaver power core's energy did to the Fetid Pool, it holds a respectable amount of explosive power.
