TheWoWDBA little tip: These also spawn in the water but not many people seem to look for them there.

Not accurate, you need to complete both this quest and Mobu's Pneumatic Tank Transjigamarig to get the follow-up Tanks a lot...
The prereq that allows access to this quest and Gorge is a quest called Wind Master To'bor.

Description
I need metal to patch these tanks up! Super strong metal plates can be found scattered about all across Garrosh's Landing and at the bottom of the bay. Just be careful when you're out there searching for plates. The mist is... um... AGGRESSIVE! The mist is what took out the landing and the adjoining tuskarr town. Poor little tuskarr...

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.
- Mobu's Pneumatic Tank Transjigamarig
These wrenches are useless, buddy. I need my pneumatic tank transjigamarig to get these things up and running! Unfortunately, I left it at my old digs, on the other side of this landing. It's the beat down hut next to the stables.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tanks a lot...
Thanks for all your help, buddy. You can let Grek'lor know the tanks are ready for action. Hopefully you can clean up this place once and for all!
