Gerenzo's Orders

Get the mysterious ore from Piznik after he finishes mining it.

	Keep Piznik safe while he mines the mysterious ore

Description

You know, I was once the second most important person here at this site. That all changed when Gerenzo took over. Fired my boss, Ziz Fizziks, and sent me down to work in the mines. Ziz told me to stay here and gather information, though. His new boss will pay us well if we can find out what Gerenzo's plans are.

Anyways, what I do know is that Gerenzo has ordered large amounts of this gold-green ore to be mined. I can get you a sample to bring to Ziz, but you'll have to watch for patrols while I get it.

At level 28, I was able to get this quest, even though it says its for horde only. He did not have the ! above his head, but I talked to him and got the quest.

at 73,59

Piznik is in a short side tunnle at 71,60.

Beware for the mages in the second wave. If Piznik dies it takes him - at least - 5 minutes to spawn.

This is a ridiculously hard quest for it's level. I tried this as a level 28 rogue with reasonably good gear and failed it three times. Once I just got overwhelmed by mobs, the second and third times I failed to aggro a mob that killed Piznik. Upon first approaching Piznik you'll have to kill 5-6 mobs (watch out, they tend to stack on each other, so what first looked like four mobs to me was actually six) just to get the quest. Also as a previous poster mentioned, Piznik has very low health - he can be killed by a single mob, and rather quickly if you're chasing a fleeing mob up the tunnel; you HAVE to aggro all the mobs that spawn. The first wave is pretty easy, only three, but the next wave had five, and then a couple additional adds respawned in the hallway I originally cleared to get to the quest giver. What finally worked for me was waiting at the slight bend in the tunnel where the waves spawn, quickly sapping one, tagging each of the other spawns to keep them on me, and killing the geomancers first. Made a quick target macro for them as they can get lost in the crowd. Crippling poison recommended to deal with runners when you're frostbolted.

Garbage quest for a garbage item. It didnt say 'elite' or bring friends or anything, but not only did i wipe on it (23 warrior), but the mobs didnt despawn, so when i ran back, they wiped me again, and all the trash in the cave respawned, so i had to corpserun to get out of their with my full red gear and half health.

In case you are masochistic enough to attempt it, the quest is at 71, 59. You have to go inside the south mine in Windshear Craig and sort of wind down and around to the very bottom.

It's an easy quest to miss, and there's a very good reason for that: it sucks. Three waves of mobs spawn to attack you. Third wave came as I was still fighting the second one, killed me. The mine itself is choked with kobold miners on a miserably fast respawn rate, and the quest itself is more or less unbeatable for a soloer.

BTW this attempt was made as a level 25 tauren druid. The mobs were green and my healing timing was good, and they still took me down.

&nbsp The location of the mine where you need to find this guy is SE of Windshear Crag.&nbsp After you click on him he will mine and there will be three waves of attacks while he mines .... so be ready .... uhmmm but I did this at LVL 57 (pally) so it was no problem

Good Luck !

I'm currently lv 31 warrior i'm still having a bit of trouble. I was on the way doing Brutal armor and stumbled on this goblin, Piznik, who gives the "Gerenzo's Orders" quest.

The easiest way to get to Piznik is probably from the Eastern (far) entrance. Don't even bother entering from the Western (first) entrance you see at the mine at 74,60. Piznik is around 71,60 in a single dead-end arm of the cave. If you take the Eastern entrance, just keep to your left and you will see the dead-end arm. Just talk to him to get the quest. You may need SuperShredder 6000 from Ziz first.

I encountered at least 4 waves of enemies. first group was 1 Overlord and 3 Diggers. 2nd group was 2 Overlords and 2 Geomancers, 3rd group was 3 Geomancers and 1 overlord, 4th group was about 2 Overlords (lv 21), 3 Stonecutters (lv 23) and 2 Geomancers. Keep in mind that the kobolds flee, and attract help, which repops quickly. The singles mentioned below are actually repops. This is a little difficult if you don't have Area of Effect spells, which Warriors really don't have.

Or... maybe my camera settings suck :)

Attempted to do this quest as a level 24 Warrior and I didn't have a chance. Also after ressing 5 times only to aggro 3 mobs i had to ressurect at the spirit healer. Now I have to wait 10 minutes that I paid for only because Blizzard can't design it's goddamned game.

Oh, I broke my keyboard too.

I didn't find this mission until I was level 34, so at that point it was a piece of cake.

The patrols consist of two sets of four-creature mobs (two melee and two magic attackers)from the hallway. Then, there are a couple of solo attackers that appear closer to Piznik. It takes about 5 minutes of waiting for Piznik to mine the ore.
The patrols range from level 22 to 24 (non-elite).

First wave is 3 level 21 melee mobs.
Second wave is 2 melee and 2 caster mobs levels 22-23.
I was unable to solo as a 26 priest.

Something about this quest does make it really hard. As a 31 warrior (I was only in there for the ore) I got killed once!

Anyway, there are three waves of Kobolds with what I thought were generous breaks in between. Something went off when I did this quest, and the second group didn't appear. Not an oppressive bug really. It would be a good idea to do this one with a friend.

Indeed it is hard, I tried to solo this as a lvl 24 warrior, with 1.4k hp I survived the first 2 waves, but then at the 3rd I killed the overlord and another guy and almost killed the other 2s, but eventually died and I had no potions left so I didn't try it again...
