Capture a Mine

Capture a mine, then return to Corporal Teeka Bloodsnarl in the Alterac Mountains.
  •  
Mine Captured

Description

As battle rages over the landscape of Alterac Valley, so too does it rage through the Coldtooth and Irondeep mines. Both are rich sources of minerals and both are used to store supplies; it's no wonder they are so highly valued!

Help our war effort, <name>! Capture one of the mines for the Horde! To capture a mine, enter one that we do not control and kill its leader. When that is done, the mine will be ours and we'll send troops to protect it!

Progress

You haven't yet captured a mine, <name>! Find one that we do not control and defeat it's leader!

Completion

You captured a mine! With our own warriors protecting it, it will be much simpler to extract minerals from its depths, or gather supplies that have been cached there.

Well done, <name>>. The deed you have done is a great boon to our battle efforts.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 660 experience (39 60 at max. level)

This quest seems to be bugged as of 2.2, tried killing Snivle several times.

After a few attempts myself with no luck I gave it one more try this time I went to Irondeep though. Luckily, the reason I think I was able to complete the quest was because an Ally had already turned the mine blue (he capped it). Thus, I killed the alliance leader guarding it and it completed the quest for me. Hope this helps.

while this does count towards your total quests done, it does *not* count towards the EK loremaster achievement

One of several ""scaling"" quests which grants more exp as you level up, instead of less.

For example, most quests are red at one point, turn orange, yellow, green and then eventually gray as you outlevel it, and slowly decreasing the amount of exp you earn. This quest starts out yellow, and remains that color no matter what level you are. As such, it grants a gradually increasing amount of exp depending on what level you turn it in which is seemingly based on the amount of exp a ""typical"" yellow quest at that level would give.

8460 exp @ level 51 with the 20% heirloom exp bonus
8820 exp @ level 52
9120 exp @ level 53

For some bizarre reason, the XP rewarded from this and the other Alterac Valley Battleground quests was drastically reduced in patch 5.2.
