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.

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).

    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

  • Sure BetMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    You appear to have great profit potential. There are many interested parties willing to bet upon your performance in the Theater of Pain. Go now, Louison will arrange your appearance.
