Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Zuldazar FootholdLevel 35-60

    King Wrynn passed along orders to dispatch our finest to establish a foothold in Zandalar. That means you. Fortunately, we have a few choices as to where we can set up camp. Stick around. I'll go over the battle plan.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Granting a ReprieveLevel 35-60

    Now, on to more pressing matters. The Forsaken have shown up and are preventing us from saving our people. All my soldiers are either injured, exhausted, or in no shape for fighting. It seems these trollish natives have joined them as well. I am spread too thin. Kill the Horde. Kill the Zandalari.

The storyline at a glance

Mole Machinations has 13 steps, from Zuldazar Foothold to Return to Boralus.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Zuldazar (12), Tiragarde Sound (1).

Steps of this storyline count toward:

  • Ready for War Complete the war campaign in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

Other storylines on the Zuldazar map
