Description

As you no doubt have heard, the League of Arathor is sending large numbers of troops into Arathi Basin. Eager for food and supplies, these Alliance fools are intent to take and control the rich resources there. We must show them that Arathi will never again be a home for humans!

Go to Arathi Basin and assault the mine, the lumber mill, the blacksmith and the stables. Pull down the enemies' banners, declaring those territories for the Horde.

Go, <name>. Report back to me when this task is complete.

Reward

Also, you get: 1 65

Completion

A Defiler scout came to me with a report of your success, <name>. Well done.

As you will learn, to win the battle for Arathi Basin, we must be ever vigilant and crush any attempts at Alliance expansion. Do this, and our victory here is ensured.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 565 experience (33 90 at max. level)
  • 500 Reputation with The Defilers

Horde version of https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8105 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8105

Should add that it's green to me at level 28. Questguru puts it at a level 25 quest, so you could probably pick it up at 21 20 (when you can enter AB)

Also should add, that you don't have to cap the flags yourself. I was right next to people when they did and got credit for it.

Is this quest still available after the Shattering?

I am neutral with The Defilers; is this only available at a certain rep?

I have read all the comments on this page and nothing has been discussed in regards to how to complete the quest. Must one individually cap each seperate base or can a player receive credit if another BG memeber caps?

Edit: Just completed the quest and you do not have to personally cap each bases. You must be in the vicinity of the capper to receive credit.

I could not get this quest at lvl 20, which is odd since you can get the Alliance counterpart as soon as you can enter AB
