Description

The old lighthouse out to the east hasn't worked for some time, but Babs Fizzletorque has gotten it into her head to get it working again. I don't know how she plans to do it by herself, but she claims that it'll make the movement of ships and goods into the docks smoother, so I can't really object. Drawing duty on the docks is really nothing to complain about when you could be on the front lines, you know?

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.

  • Captain VimesDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Captain Vimes should see the orc report you found, <name>. He knows the orcish language better than most. And he should know that there are Horde spies near Theramore! The captain is in the barracks, on the northeastern side of Theramore Isle.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thresher OilDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    The old log in the lighthouse indicates that the lamp was fueled with oil from the threshers that live along the coast here. <Babs wrinkles her nose at the mention of such outdated technology.> I suppose it's a practical, if inelegant solution.
