While I applaud the gnomes in employing a dose of karma in their plans against the Frostmane, I'd argue it's a simpler solution to kill them instead. Can't lift their tools if they're under six feet of snow and dirt!

StorylineDun Morogh, step 11 of 30
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

We need to halt the construction on this Frostmane village. If we let them get too entrenched, it will be more difficult to keep them from settling here permanently. It's time to give those brutes a gnome's-eye view of the world! Take this gnomish viewpoint equalizer and use it on the Frostmane builders to bring them down to our level. They won't be able to lift their tools and construction will come to a standstill.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Ultrasafe Personnel LauncherDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    The cataclysm has brought our enemies closer to home, so the chief of Gnomeregan covert operations asked me to build a device to dispatch personnel quickly and quietly to any corner of Dun Morogh. Behold, the ultrasafe personnel launcher!

    The Frostmane chieftain died in the initial trogg onslaught, but they've been led by a well-respected warrior ever since. Battok the Berserker was the one who organized the Frostmane retreat, the construction of the new village, and the strikes against Kharanos and the mountaineers.
