I did this on my Goblin Warlock earlier today and got the following co-ords for the huts (to be accurate, this is where my Warlock stood in order to burn the huts down):

North-East: 72.72, 46.08
North-West: 71.67, 46.93
South-West: 72.00, 48.19

Hope that helps some of you.

Description

I've conducted a thorough appraisal of the real estate here and, unfortunately, its market value is just far too low to be of any use. We're going to have to renovate. Luckily for you, I've learned a few things about arson. Hopefully you have too! You're going to be throwing these perfectly safe bottles of flaming rum at those filthy ramshackle huts over there. Try not to stand downwind.

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.

  • Dead Man's ChestTanaris · Level 15-30

    Look, babe, you should be able to see what's happening here pretty easily. There's pirates, there's goblins, the goblins are fighting the pirates. There's some sad little gnomes trying to fight the pirates too. I'll make it nice and simple for you: we need to kill a lot of pirates. Go do that, 'kay?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Booty DutyTanaris · Level 15-30

    Let's not be wasteful here, babe. These pirates have tons of valuable nonsense just sitting around, waiting to be fenced. Can you believe they just sit on this stuff? I mean, why do they even bother taking it if it's just going to sit around?
