The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
I'm a lucky, lucky goblin. I get to make explosives and killing machines, knowing they'll be used immediately on important missions!
Speaking of missions, I just got one from Thrallmar command: burn the Alliance cannons on the far side of the Path of Glory... the ones pointing dangerously close to Horde fortifications. Take this torch and make your way to each cannon. Fire the torch and watch the sparks fly!
Progress
I've been looking for the telltale signs of burning cannons -- smoke plumes, or the cries of burning fel orcs...
Any luck on your mission?
Completion
I thought so! I couldn't quite make out the destruction from here, but I can imagine how it must have looked. Splendid!
Well done, <name>. Thrallmar command will be happy to hear of your success!

By character level
Level Experience Share 58–66 9,800 100% 67 7,850 80% 68 5,900 60% 69 3,900 40% 70 1,950 20% 71–89 975 10% 90 none 58s 50c more money The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 9,800 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 1 run by 1 player – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 38 min 3 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 10,780 XP, done around level 60.
The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Hellfire Peninsula), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
