The quest name is a reference to Robert M. Pirsig's book called 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'. It is a fictionalized road trip in which Pirsig explores "Quality" and other philosophical topics.

Description

The best way to destroy the rest of the Legion's supplies is to use their own weapons against them. I've been working on a rig that will let you take control of one of those Fel Reaver Sentinels below. There are a couple things I need to work out, yet. For that, I'll need the manual that Doctor Gutrick keeps locked in a chest at the bottom of the ramp. He probably won't give up the key without a fight, so you'll need to capture it. Bring the fel reaver manual back to me and I'll do the rest!

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.

  • Invasion Point: CataclysmShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    Now that we have access to the Legion's base at Invasion Point: Cataclysm, we need to figure out a way to shut down their operations there. Wildhammer Stronghold won't be safe until the Legion's presence is erased from Shadowmoon Valley.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fel and the FuriousShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    <Plexi leafs through the manual.> Well, this has everything we need, but there's just one problem. Fel Reavers aren't really built to respond to remote control. We can modify one for you to use for a short time, but you'll have to work fast, or there's no telling what might happen!
