ok, let me get this straight, we acquire similar looking ore in howling fjord http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11218 , then they have us get some more after telling us they won't use it after all? don't these people communicate at all? then still later they have us get more of it to test http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12584 and decide it was evil. i think they need to have a news letter about this sorta stuff..... plus a health bulletin to warn players about the side effects of wearing armor made with saronite

Rewards4,100 XP

Description

Hours before the Naxxramas invasion, one of the miners stumbled upon a dark ore that was oozing a viscous fluid. In the chaos that occurred during the evacuation of the mine, we lost the samples taken from the alien node. Now the Scourge prospects the ore for use in their machines of death. You must get back to Wintergarde Mine, due northeast of here in the Carrion Fields, and recover the strange ore. It is imperative to our mission's success!

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.

  • The Search for SlinkinDragonblight · Level 15-30

    While I have not heard from Slinkin or know what fate has befallen him, perhaps I can assist in finding him. <Quarterflash holds up a tiny mechanical toy.> This is not a toy, newfound compatriot. It is, in fact, my latest mechanical creation.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Leave Nothing to ChanceDragonblight · Level 15-30

    If there is good in your heart and your conscience is clear, read on. In this mine, near the foreman's scaffold, rests a hefty cargo of dynamite. Go there and pick up several bundles of the explosive and make your way towards the entrance of the mine.
