Small Friend, Big Plans

Small Friend, Big Plans is a quest for level 80 in The Ringing Deeps. It is step 2 of 14 in The Machines March to War storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Ringing Deeps at 52.1, 74.9. It rewards 11,750 experience and money.

Description

I tracked down a distress signal that led me to this little maintenance machine. A curious find, but the real treasure is the defunct war golem facility to the southeast.

If we can start producing war golems again we'll be able to contribute to the war effort. Unfortunately, it's been overrun by a goblin salvage group. And we'll need to investigate and assess if the facility is functional.

Fortunately, I have a plan, and it involves our little friend here. Why don't you introduce yourself?
