We Need a Shipwright

We Need a Shipwright is a quest for level 40. The quest's turn-in marker is in Gorgrond at 52.6, 9.8. It rewards 1,350 experience and money.

Description

The Iron Horde - or whatever Gul'dan is turning them into - has fallen back and fortified the entrance to Tanaan. A direct assault will take a heavy toll.

However, the sea lanes are open. If we attack by both land and sea, Gul'dan's Horde will have no quarter. <name>, it's time to build a shipyard!

We'll need to source local resources. Travel to the Iron Docks, where a small Alliance reclamation force is already waiting. Gather what equipment you can, and find us a shipwright capable of building a fleet!

Rewards

Don't do what I did and think "I'll just take my mole machine to Gorgrond and skip most of the flight." After going to the "Iron Docks" flight path I already had, I realized that that is NOT where you need to go, and I wasn't able to find a way to the new area on foot.

Even though the flight master in your garrison isn't highlighted like he is for the other zone's lead-in quests, he does offer the option to fly to the new Iron Docks area. So save yourself a bit of trouble and just go from there.

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.
