What to do
Take the Translated Orc Letter to Boog the "Gear Whisperer" at Windshear Mine in Stonetalon Mountains.
The quest giver's words
The letter is actually an order from Horde high command. Someone named Overlord Krom'gar has issued a "strip job" on this mine in order to obtain something called azure iron flake. Presumably this flake is obtained from breaking down the ore.
It gets worse. They plan to mix the azure flake with the explosives sitting inside the huge bomb outside and blow up Windshear Hold.
We don't have a moment to lose, <name>! Take this translated copy of the letter and return to Boog! He'll know what to do next.
Progress
Well? What's it say?
Completion
<Beads of sweat roll down Boog's overly large forehead as he reads the translated letter.>
This is bad. Really, really bad. You have to warn Lord Fallowmere at Windshear Hold.
What in the... It's MOVING! The goblin balloon is taking off! We're too late!

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.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – 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 needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

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 (Stonetalon Mountains), 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.
