Description

So, they have built extra compartments in the crates to hide extra items, eh? That explains how they have been smuggling goods into and out of Dornogal without our auditors knowing. Excellent work, {name}! But now the fun part of our job: those crates will have to be broken open and the smuggled goods taken into evidence. Smash the bottoms out of the crates and bring anything you find back to me.

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.

Withheld InformationIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73
There has to be something we're missing. The tip we received was from a very reliable source. We have no reason to believe we were being misled. The Councilward will want us to get to the bottom of this, and I refuse to disappoint him.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Report to the CouncilwardIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73
Those receipts you found... Steelvein is a known smuggler that we've been chasing for a long time. The Councilward will be pleased to finally have solid evidence on his activities, and maybe even on his whereabouts. Bring these receipts to Merrix immediately. He will want to study them in detail.
