You need to secure the area (by clicking on the barrel things or killing mobs) before you can get credit for the target. If you do it in the wrong order, just finish securing and then wait for him to spawn again (2-3 minutes maybe).

Description

I see you are wondering where we acquire all of the challengers we supply to this arena. We scour countless realms in search of opponents to provide the Maldraxxi with firsthand combat experience. Currently, I am in the process of procuring a new combatant--and with it, a lucrative betting opportunity. Would you make use of our portal and assist Zo'umlo in capturing Khogov the Expunger? You will be appropriately compensated, of course.

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.

  • Leave Me a LoanMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    I run a myriad of businesses here. Betting rings, performance enhancers... whatever the customer is willing to purchase. However, a few of those customers are late with their payments. And a customer who does not pay is a customer without value. Please ask them to surrender what they owe.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sure BetMaldraxxus · Level 10-54
