Description

A squadron of arakkoa spotted us while we were en route to the excavation site and took out our caravan. My brother made it to safety in the chaos. Lucky son of a tinker. I can't leave without the batteries for our drill, but they all fell into the bog and I can't even get them to budge. Any chance you could retrieve them for 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.

  • The Tinkertoss TwinsSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Commander, two gnomish smugglers passed by while you were out - Filbert and Dilbert Tinkertoss. They were headed towards the bog to the east. They had all sorts of drilling equipment but didn't seem to have any weapons.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Back on TrackSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Now that the batteries are out of the bog I can radio in some more copters to take them to camp. I'll stay here until they arrive, but you should go ahead to my brother Dilbert and let him know what happened. He must be worried sick!
