Quest ID

Classic 1.12 data, not Forever data. The game files do not include quest texts, so this page uses the free CMaNGOS Classic-DB database. Objectives, rewards, experience and positions may have changed in WoW Forever.

In WoW Forever

  • The WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70205) includes this quest by its number (250). That does not confirm its text, objectives or rewards are unchanged.

Objectives

Quest text: Investigate the area near the eastern ramp of the Dam and bring Chief Engineer Hinderweir a clue that might reveal what the Dark Iron Dwarves are up to.

Starts

  • Chief Engineer Hinderweir VIIClassic position: Loch Modan 46.0 · 13.6 · View on the map

Ends

  • Suspicious BarrelClassic position: Loch Modan 56.1 · 13.2 · View on the map

Classic 1.12 coordinates on the Forever map; it may be elsewhere in Forever.

Rewards

CMaNGOS calculation for Classic 1.12: full value up to 5 levels above the quest, less after that. It may differ in Forever.

Classic 1.12 rewards. Blizzard says quest rewards were updated or expanded in Forever, so they may differ.
