Description

I can get back to Drek'Thar myself... after I run this stinking shovel through a few Blackrock stomachs.

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.

  • Polishing the Iron ThroneLevel 10-40

    These stinking Blackrock cowards think they're humiliating me. They're just making me angrier. Overseer Gotrigg, in the hut over there, carries my shackle key. If I'm going to get out of there, I'm going to need that key. Then... vengeance can begin.

After this quest

Taken from a quest that requires this one.

  • Taking a Trip to the Top of the TankLevel 10-40

    We cannot risk the reactivation of the Dark Portal. Now is the time for the deathblow. Thaelin should have figured out how to get that tank working by now. Take him with you, and turn that tank against the Dark Portal itself. We will follow behind you.

The storyline at a glance

The Blackrock has 8 steps, from Prepare for Battle to The Prodigal Frostwolf.
