Description

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 the first wave, the beach was overtaken by angry elementals that came from the sea. I sent grunts to take care of it, but the onslaught was too much. I'm guessing you'll have a little more luck than they did. Beware the tides!

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Exploiting the SituationDurotar · Level 1-30

    Hey there, handsome! I've had my eye on those big, beefy biceps ever since you stepped into town. Listen, I've got something for you to do. I hear Gar'Thok's got you headed over to Tiragarde. While you're there, think you could find some abandoned Kul Tiras knicknacks? Thanks sweetie!

After this quest

  • Shipwreck SearchingDurotar · Level 1-30

    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!
