The Dranosh'ar Blockade

The Dranosh'ar Blockade is a Horde-only quest for level 1-30 in Durotar. It is step 19 of 33 in the Durotar storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Durotar at 45.0, 14.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,050 experience and money.

Description

You should head north from here, <name>. Speak with Gor the Enforcer at the Dranosh'ar Blockade. He's been placed in charge of securing shipping lanes for Orgrimmar, and Skull Rock sits right next to his precious dock. I'm certain he'll be interested in picking up where we left off.

If you're wondering why you can't find the NPC to complete this quest, it's because the Legion intro quest phase is interfering and de-phasing him when you get near. You need to complete the Legion intro quests outside of Org to revert the area back to a phase where you can see this NPC.

And yes, the Legion intro quest will still de-phase him despite not picking it up to begin with. So go pick it up from the calling board and complete it.

It's 2023. Why are these phasing issues persisting? Can't they just set up a Zidormi NPC and be done with it?

I've chosen Cata (read: Classic) Timewalking campaign, so why do I still have to see any of these Legion NPCs anyway?

For the record, I am on a level 11 character. I'm guessing you might not have this problem if you've not yet hit 10.

As others have said, you have to clear the legion quests to unphase the NPC you need for this quest. You need to be in Legion timewalking campaign to do that.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Burning BladeDurotar · Level 1-30

    I've been sent to investigate the presence of more Burning Blade agents here in Durotar. To the northeast, you'll find a cave where the organization trains their new recruits. I'm interested in what exactly they are teaching these neophytes.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • FizzledDurotar · Level 1-30

    The flood to the southwest wiped out one of the few Burning Blade camps that still pockmark Durotar. This one was led by a goblin named Fizzle Darkclaw, and believe me, we're better off without him. Darkclaw, however, did possess an orb that the Horde is interested in procuring. Who knows why...
