The Mosshide Job

The Mosshide Job is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Wetlands. It is step 24 of 40 in the Wetlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Wetlands at 26.9, 26.1. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

You seem trustworthy enough to help me out with my real problem, <name>. I was sent here by Ironforge to recover a shipment of gold ingots.

The ingots are part of the Ironforge Royal Treasury, stamped with the royal seal... only an idiot would steal them for profit, far too easy to trace. Oddly enough, this area is full of idiots: Mosshide gnolls.

I don't know how many gnolls you've fought before, but they're foul and brutal beasts, and dangerous. I need you to slay them and recover the missing ingots.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crocolisk HidesWetlands · Level 10-30

    I've skinned crocs in the wetlands for years, <class>. Things have changed though. You see, not to bore you with a sob story, but when the cataclysm flooded Menethil Harbor, our house went with it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gizmos and GadgetsWetlands · Level 10-30

    I've been coming up short on parts recently for my engineering projects, and the other day I finally saw why: the Mosshide gnolls have been making off with them! I don't have any idea what they could possibly want them for, but I need those gizmos back.
