You'll know you have the right kind of tree when you can actually target it. There are a few in the same area that look similar, but cannot be cut down. When you get to a tree, hit the "Buzzsaw" option, this will be number 1 on your action bar. If nothing happens, try moving around to the other side of the tree. You'll know when there are snipers in the tree when the tree starts to tilt and fall over. A total of 3 snipers will jump down and land in front of you as the tree falls (it will disappear). Start spamming your "Fling Blade" button, which will be number 2 on your action bars. Make sure you kill all of the Scouts in the area before you attack a tree, because you can become very easily overwhelmed, and all of the mobs on your machine will be on you once your machine dies.

Good luck!

Since Blizzard decided to level scale, this quest is quite annoying. I used to be able to complete this quest in just one shredder. Apparently now, the elves that fall out the trees that you cut down do significantly more damage to the shredder.

Rewards4,100 XP

Description

Hold still a second, I'm going to bring your main buzzsaw controls online. Night elven snipers from Talrendis have been hiding in the trees, taking potshots at my workers. I want you to take care of those snipers... by first taking care of those trees. Look for Azshara saplings east of the main gates. Your shredder will know what to do. Chop to it!

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.
