After this objective is done, you're asked to go to the roof of the Iron Siegeworks to meet Gazlowe. There is a "rocket chicken" there. Don't do what I did and accidentally right-click it.

It will instantly port you back to your garrison - which is fine, except if you haven't yet filled the progress bar for your bonus 800 Apexis Crystals during your time in the Siegeworks, that progress will be erased and you can't restart it.

A very, very costly chicken click, that one :-\

Description

So, we COULD just leave now. We got what we came for, and I even did a little charity work to help Thaelin escape. But there's also this. <Gazlowe holds up a scrap of paper showing a hand-drawn depiction of an especially mean looking orc.> It's an SI:7 bounty for one Overlord Blackhammer, who just happens to operate out of this very facility. You help me take him out, I pay you. Then I take his head to the Alliance and collect on the bounty. Everyone wins! Well, everyone except for Blackhammer.

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.

  • I Know The Drill!Level 40

    It's a machine alright. A drill - a BIG one! Fortunately, we don't have to take apart the whole thing. They're relying on forced induction, using twin superchargers to pipe extra boost into the engine. Without that boost, the drill is useless.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Maker's MarkLevel 40

    I don't get it - most of the Iron Horde junk is about as advanced as strapping cannons to a gronn. Even the drill itself is nothing special. But that induction system was a work of art... This don't add up at all! Despite my better judgment, I gotta find out who made this.
