What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 16 of 182

Description

I heard what you told Gerald and I don't like it one bit. If cultists managed to poison the grain in the mines with their foul plague, they could've easily done the same with the grain outside. We don't have time to sort the good grain from the bad. We must act quickly and burn it all. Take this torch and set fire to any sacks of grain you find out here. It would be a tragedy if we survived this attack only to succumb to the plague afterwards.

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.

  • It's Time for ActionBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Well, <name>. With the last of our military in Farshire dead or worse, we can do but one thing: fight these Scourge ourselves. We have deployed militia in what remains of Farshire. Without your help, they've but little hope of winning. Go and lend them a hand. Me and the lads will watch this path.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Repurposed TechnologyBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Ok, I've got it! The rewiring is a little complicated, but nothing a clever <class> like you can't handle. Take my tools and put some of the harvest collectors out of commission. Once they're down use the tools to plug all the red wires into the blue sockets.
