The Search for Slinkin

The Search for Slinkin is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Dragonblight. It is step 65 of 149 in the Dragonblight storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dragonblight at 81.5, 42.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

While I have not heard from Slinkin or know what fate has befallen him, perhaps I can assist in finding him.

<Quarterflash holds up a tiny mechanical toy.>

This is not a toy, newfound compatriot. It is, in fact, my latest mechanical creation. The machine was created with the sole purpose of finding that which has been lost. These are unfortunate circumstances, but the machine is your best chance at finding Slinkin.

When you are ready to begin your search, place the bot on the ground next to me.

When you use the robot, you'll get a whisper

Siege Engineer Quarterflash whispers: The bot will adjust it's speed to match your own. I would suggest you mount up to speed things along. By the way, the bot was put together with salvaged components from a pile of scrap metal delivered to me from Outland. There were some side effects.

BC Raiders should recognize the robot's speech files: Scrap metal, indeed...
