The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
A difficult choice for transmogrification purposes... Alternates exist for the Accountant's Lantern, but for the separated glove-bracer look on the Ingot-Handler Gloves I haven't seen another with the model... and the Royal Treasury Courier's Shield appears to be the only way currently to get the Ironforge crest on a shield. Decisions, decisions!
CORRECTION: Although my post is correct, I did infact get only 15s for the quest. After posting this, I went to my wardrode and low and behold, the shield was there! Marked New! Now that is odd.

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 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.
- Crocolisk Hides
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 Gadgets
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.
