It starts in a mine, runs through a goblin foundry and ends on a warship in an underground shipyard. The path is linear, and the only real trick is handling the adds VanCleef summons.
Entrance Inside the mine at Moonbrook, Westfall (38.2, 77.5)
Before you go
- Defias elites roam the road to Moonbrook — it is safer to group up at the entrance.
- Mr. Smite stuns the whole party and swaps weapons; regroup as soon as the stun breaks.
- A poison dispel helps on Captain Greenskin.
- VanCleef drops An Unsent Letter, which starts a follow-up quest — pick it up before you leave.
Dungeon map
The numbers follow the route — each stop says what is there (boss, rare, object, NPC, something to do), and clicking one jumps to the section with the same number below. We have not verified the walking path in this dungeon yet, so only the stops are numbered — the order is right, but the path between them is not drawn. The map is a top-down floor plan traced from the beta client's own dungeon geometry — brighter means higher. Every marker is a real mob coordinate from the Classic server database (cmangos classic-db), placed in the same coordinate system as the map rather than eyeballed onto artwork.

Rhahk'Zor Slam stuns the tank; healers keep the tank topped through it.

Miner JohnsonRareskippable
A rare elite in a small side room — safe to skip.
- 3
SneedBoss
Destroy Sneed's Shredder first and Sneed jumps out; he uses Disarm.
- 4

Underground Assault

Destruction in Deadmines
- 6
Mr. SmiteBoss
From here you are aboard the ship — the last three are aboard it too, and Cookie is below deck, so his marker sits close to the others. As his health drops he stuns the group with Smite Stomp and runs to his chest to swap weapons; regroup after each stun.
- 7
CookieBoss
Down in the galley below deck. He heals himself with Cookie's Cooking and uses Acid Splash — interrupt the cooking.
- 8
Captain GreenskinBoss
Uses Poisoned Harpoon and Cleave — cure the poison and stay behind the tank.
- 9
Edwin VanCleefBoss
The last fight, on the upper deck toward the stern. He dual-wields with Thrash and summons Defias guards with VanCleef's Allies as his health drops — control or kill the adds first.
