Where Respect is Due

Where Respect is Due is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 5 of 12 in the Legion Mining storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 55.1, 84.0. It rewards 6,150 experience.

Description

Leystone is a sensitive ore. Our smiths can coax great power out of it, but as miners, we must treat it with respect, or else its power will retreat inward.

<The tauren hands you what appears to be a GLASS mining pick.>

The next time you mine some leystone ore, use this pick. It will break if you strike too hard. THIS is the respect that leystone requires.

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.

  • The Highmountain TaurenLevel 10-45

    Ye've brought me a bit of interesting rocks to look at, <name>. I've got a special assignment for ye, if ye're up for it. I hear stories about these tauren, up in Highmountain, who claim mastery over minin'. I don't know if they're as talented as you or me, but they've been minin' leystone longer.

After this quest

    A long, long time ago, a tauren by the name of Rethu entered this land. His exploits paved the road that all miners walk. If you wish to learn more about mining, you must first learn about Rethu.
