A Dark Threat Looms

A level 18 quest for the Alliance, from level 16.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Chief Engineer Hinderweir wants you to swim down to the base of the dam, locate the powder keg and stir in the Disarming Mixture to prevent an explosion.

Disarming Mixture

Provided: Disarming Mixture

Description

Earlier today I spotted some Dark Iron Insurgents swimming toward the Dam with a large keg. No Mountaineers were on hand to stop them! I'm afraid they've planted the Seaforium at the base of the Dam and it could blow at any minute! Let me combine all these ingredients into the Disarming Mixture. There we go.

Now I need you to take this mixture and stir it into the keg before it's too late! Hurry!

Rewards

Experience: 675

+50 reputation with Ironforge

When you come back

The top of the keg slowly twists off.

When you hand it in

The keg fizzles slightly as the Disarming Mixture settles in.
