What to do
Description
The magics Xuk is weaving will let you perform great acts, but preparations must be made before the spirits will bless us with their power. Xuk needs many shells from the pesky goren. To gather them, Xuk will share a secret. Approach their tunnel craters and the goren will pour out. This way, you kill many at once.
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.

They spawn in the small, smoking, cracked mounds and drop the shells when killed.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eye in the Sky
The notes you recovered tell of a device capable of subjugating even a magnaron. Ancient legends speak of such artifacts, crafted by the worldbuilders to keep these creatures in check. I had discounted them as silly stories, but if they are true... <name>, Draenor is doomed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Great Escape
A goren tunnel! Once the cap is cleared, it's certain to lead outside of this Light-forsaken pit.
