Taking Care of Business

Taking Care of Business is a quest for level 1-20 in Kezan. It is step 1 of 29 in the Bilgewater Port storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Kezan at 60.3, 74.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 350 experience.

Description

With all of the troubles down in the Kaja'mine, Foreman Dampwick's been going crazy trying to find you. He said something about some 'defiant trolls'.

The kaja'mite that our trolls are mining is critical ingredient in Kaja'Cola. That bubbly stuff is making us a fortune, and it's going to get you a promotion to Trade Prince!

But first, we have to get production flowing again. You'll find the foreman to the east. Here, give him this as an incentive to get his act together.

If you, like me, picked up this quest a second time due to Bronze Dragonflight time traveling shenanigans, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Kezan, where the quest takes place, is no longer reachable, so all you can do is abandon the quest.

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.
