Hey handsome, welcome back! You wouldn't mind running another errand, would you? I'd be EVER so grateful...

I hear you're headed off to the shore east of here. The beach is filled with crashed ships, and those ships have gnomish tools in them... tools that I can use.

See you soon, beefcake!

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.

  • Storming the BeachesDurotar · Level 1-30

    Now that those humans are out of our hair for a bit, we can move on to more pressing matters. The cataclysm utterly decimated Durotar's eastern coast. You saw the wreckage that it made of Tiragarde. The devastation was even worse on the coast to the east of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lost in the FloodsDurotar · Level 1-30

    The recent cataclysmic events have done more than wash a few boats onto our shore, <class>. The Southfury River has overflowed, and Durotar's entire western basin is now flooded. There are still people out there. I've been searching for a while, but haven't been able to find anything.

The storyline at a glance

Durotar has 33 steps, from Cleaning Up the Coastline to Loss Reduction.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Durotar (32), Orgrimmar (1).
