Weakness to Lightning

Weakness to Lightning is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Borean Tundra. It is step 173 of 182 in the Borean Tundra storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Borean Tundra at 77.2, 38.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

You now have the power of the storm within you. I will give you the means to focus that power and weaken the robots in the pools.

Take this lightning rod. Use it against the robotic creations of the mechagnomes you find within the greater pools area to the west. Do not worry about using it against the mechagnomes themselves; Greatmother Taiga has other plans for them.

Once the robots are weakened by the power of the storm, dismantle them utterly!

    From what you describe, the creatures of metal should be easy to deal with. But first, you must master the storm. Behind me in the lodge is a totem. When you are ready, focus your will upon it and the storm will come. You must defeat the storm and in so doing take its essence into yourself.

  • Souls of the DecursedBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    The mechagnomes in the pools to the west are a great mystery to us. They appeared not long after the gnomes disappeared from their pumping station and its environs. They are an unnatural danger and must be dealt with.
