Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Speak to the Thorium Point flight master, then use the Brotherhood Flying Machine's guns to kill Cauldron Defenders until the area is safe for entry.

The quest giver's words

I'm putting you on a flying machine, <name>.

You'll be responsible for softening our landing into the slag pit. Speak with your flight master here in Thorium Point, then fly down to the gorge.

Once you near your landing point, there will undoubtedly be hordes of Dark Iron dwarves waiting for you. Use our flying machine's guns to take out as many of them as you can, then land at the cavern's entrance. Rendan should be waiting for you by the time you arrive.

Completion

Well, here we are.

I hope you're ready, <name>.

Category: Searing Gorge.

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 (Searing Gorge), 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.
