Description

Looks like we'll soon have another obstacle in our way: that ridiculously large tank that they have pointed at the Dark Portal. The Iron Worldbreaker, I think they call it. If I had some documentation on how it might work, then I might be able to figure out how to shut it down. Maybe some o' those machinists and laborers have some documentation on how it works?

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.

  • The Gunpowder PlotLevel 10-40

    Ey, pal! We got an issue, here. Me ol' pal Thaelin's rigged together this here plunger out of spare Blackrock parts - engineerin' whiz that he is - but we're gonna need some gunpowder if we really want ta' do any damage.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ga'nar of the FrostwolfLevel 10-40

    We must move on, there isn't time to waste! One of the elders of my clan, Ga'nar, is out there somewhere. I can sense him, but I cannot find him. Keep an eye out for Ga'nar. He is a strong-willed orc, and will languish in captivity.
