What to do

StorylineBadlands, step 10 of 53

Description

I'll need some time to analyze these samples, as well as a break from this trogg-shooting duty. Go man one of my turrets and take out as many troggs as you can. I'll be here studying. The turrets have two abilities: a regular shot, as well as an electrical overload, for when too many enemies get close! Heh, heh. Good luck. Oh, and look out for the big, slow troggs. You probably don't want to let them anywhere near you.

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 Venerable Doctor BlamBadlands · Level 15-30

    I made a calculated decision in revealing my identity to you, <name>. I needed you to trust me, but I can no longer stay here in Lethlor Ravine, as my cover has quite clearly been blown. You may be able to slip away unnoticed, however. Here, take the results of our research, and bring them west.

After this quest

  • Dustwind DigBadlands · Level 15-30

    I've got an idea, but it's a bit of a long shot. Thankfully, long shots happen to be a specialty of mine. North of here, the Explorers' League has uncovered a new set of titan ruins beneath the sands. If there's anything older and wiser than dragons, it's titans.
