for people who have issues finding the turn-in NPC, i was able to turn it into a different version of the same NPC in another location. i found [npc=56406] at 30.7, 52.2, and i was able to turn the quest into him there. the NPC pops up in different locations under various IDs depending on where in the zone questline you are, so you can search wowhead for his name (rivett clutchpop) and look around at the various location pins.

Description

The crate, once full of desperately needed supplies, has been thoroughly pillaged. A quick scan of the area shows evidence left behind by the thieves. Icy thorns, just like the ones on the water sprites on the shoreline to the east. This is a life or death situation for your band of survivors. Those supplies need to be retrieved from these thieving pests and returned to camp.

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.

  • Missed Me By... That Much!The Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    Listen, pal. I sent out a coupla supply drones from the gunship, and they've all been lost or crashed. Almost all, that is. One of 'em buzzed right through the camp here and crashed out by them waterfalls. How 'bout you see what you can do about bringin' the contents of that crate back here, hmm?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lay of the LandThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    Curse these furry pests! Kill one, and two more rise in its place... Nothing has changed, <name>. Orders are orders, no matter how few of us stand and regardless of the odds. I have plans to make and problems to solve. I want you to get out there and learn the lay of the land.
