The Public Servant

The Public Servant is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Dun Morogh. It is step 19 of 30 in the Dun Morogh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dun Morogh at 75.9, 54.3. It rewards 5 reward items, 2 reputation rewards, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As a member of the Senate and the Explorers' League, I've taken it upon myself to investigate conditions at the quarry. The troggs have run wild!

They've made a mess of the Gol'Bolar quarry. As we dug deep into the earth, they poured out, destroying our equipment and trapping many of the miners below ground.

We have to get them out of there. I've had mages working overtime to enchant these runes of return. If you can get them to the trapped miners, they can return to the surface in safety.

I found the best place to hunt for Rockjaw Bonesnappers is around ronband's Compound is just southwest of Helm's Bed Lake, which is on the Eastern side of Dun Morogh.

For those of you with Cosmos or Titan Panel add-ons, the coordinates are are around 77,60

Note: If you're a warrior, this quest pairs well with "Ironband's Compound" pairs will with this quest, since the ore you're looking for is in the same area. (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1681)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Those Blasted Troggs!Dun Morogh · Level 1-30

    Those Light-blasted troggs, turning my work site into a wreck! Look at that, there goes another barrel of powder! Ohhh, I wish I could go down there and wring every one of their scrawny little necks! I want to kill them all! This can't be good for my health, all this stress and anger...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Priceless TreasuresDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    Mining wasn't the only thing going on in the quarry, you know. I led a team of Explorers' League excavators recovering priceless ancient artifacts. I managed to escape, but my colleagues were much deeper in the mine and didn't survive the initial trogg attack.
