Objectives

Use the Reprogrammed Shredder to destroy the Talrendis Ancient. Emergency Backup Shredders are available at the Orgrimmar Rear Gate if you lose yours.

•  Talrendis Ancient slain

Description

How's that shredder holding up? I think I can bring your emergency power supplies online - that'll recharge you when you're wounded.

Listen, these night elves are being strengthened by an ancient of war who's taken root just west of the gates. he's a big, giant tree. You know what to do! Take him out!

You were made for this!!

Completion

You did it, <name>! The invaders have pulled back. nd they told me I was crazy for installing a grenade launcher on a woodchipper...

Great work with the Shredder. With an impressive showing like that right here on the Warchief's doorstep, the Horde can't doubt what goblin technology can do for them. I owe you a big thanks!

Rewards

You will receive:

• 8
• 1100 XP
• 350 reputation with Bilgewater Cartel

You will also be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Woodchipper Dagger]		[Chopped Off Ancient Limb]
	[Arborcide Axe]

Notes

The shredder gains one last ability

•   [Recharge]^ω ϖ—Tap emergency power reserves, healing the shredder for 70% of its maximum health. Instant (12 sec cooldown)

Head west along the path to the Ancient Grove^{[21.5, 75.9]}

. There the Talrendis Ancient awaits, initially friendly. Getting too close will turn it hostile, however:

Talrendis Ancient yells: Keep your machines away from me, <race>! You'll be cleansed from this land like the weeds you are!

Get about 20 yards away and spam the grenades, using fling blade ability when it's off cooldown. The new ability is a heal, so take advantage of it!
