Description

It's revolting, absolutely disgusting, infuriating even! I'm talking about seeing those spore creatures walking around Pinchwhistle Point. While I'm working on the machine here how about you go out and kill off some of those spore creatures? I'll feel a bit better knowing there are less of those things moving around.

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.

  • The Right Parts for the JobSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Uncle Krixel's a tough one but he won't be going anywhere on foot with his leg broken. He has a flying machine he brought from Azeroth that can fly us out of here. Problem is, the engine's busted. I'll need some parts to fix the thing.

After this quest

  • Preventing the WorstSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Have you seen all the fungus on the buildings in Pinchwhistle Point? It's only a matter of time 'til it releases enough spores to infest the whole coastline!
