TheWoWDBThis was an awesome quest to level skinning in- it might have been because cataclysm was just released, but it looked like the npcs where killing the crocadiles as well, which meant there were bodies litttered everywhere which could be skinned. I went from 20 to 75 in like 10 minutes.
I also noted quite a few copper veins in the general swamp area which were easily accessible.
Quest
Stranded at the Marsh
A World of Warcraft quest in Gilneas. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
First of all, the map of Gilneas City above is completely wrong. The quest giver is south of Hailwood Marsh.
Second, it is bugged for me atm. I got the quest, went north to the marsh, but i can't seem to be able to rescue the survivors. There is no way to interact with them. I have tried clicking on them, looking for some device i need to use to rescue them, killing crocs, abandoning and re-acquiring the quest, even re-logging, and nothing.It is the ONLY quest available for me atm and i can't seem to rescue a single survivor. 'bout to RAGE!
now is ok:)
crocks are close quest giver - just go north to "lakes"

First Responder's Bindings, Hailwood Chestpiece, Paramedic Bracers, 5g 35s, 2,750 XPDescription
The ogres got two of our stagecoaches: this one and one that fell into the marsh just north of here. I want you to head there and rescue any survivors while we hatch up a plan to deal with these ogres.
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.
- Exodus
We have no choice, <name>. We must move further inland. I don't like it one bit, but we're vulnerable here. Return to the stables below the manor. Let's get everybody on carriages and send them eastbound. I pray it's not too late.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Introductions Are in Order
The Forsaken are right on our heels and now these ogres are trying to flank us, <name>. They're servants of the ettin Koroth -- the meanest, most destructive force in all of Gilneas.
