Capture a Mine

Capture a mine that the Stormpike does not control, then return to Sergeant Durgen Stormpike in the Alterac Mountains.
  •  
 Mine Captured

Description

The mines in Alterac Valley hold more than just minerals. Both the Frostwolf and Stormpike have cached excess supplies in the Irondeep and Coldtooth mines... that's not a bad idea, if we could only maintain control of them!

Capture a mine, then return to me. To capture a mine, enter one that we do not control and kill its leader. When you do that, the mine will be ours, and we'll send troops to protect it!

The Leader of the Irondeep Mine is called Moloch and was around 55ish Elite.
To get to him it doesnt matter if you take the upper or lower entry, both ways you have to kill around 6 groups of 3 troggs each.

The troggs are 53-54ish Elite and can be handled by a Paladin/Hunter Duo of lvl 60 with sub-optimal equipment. But only barely.
I suggest a group of 3-4 people clearing the cave to the named.

It took about 30-60 minutes for the mine to "unclear" aka fill up with troggs again.
---------------

Rumor : If your side controls a mine it is said that the rebuild rate of burning/destroyed structures like towers is increased.

I have completed the Quest today.

I had the same issue. i would kill the mine boss and the Quest would not complete.

Then I went down to Coldtooth mine and the horde had taken it, killing the horde boss in the mine completed the quest.

Perhaps it is only when you kill the Opposing factions mine boss and not the neutral mine boss.

So if you go into the mine late and for whatever reason we didn't kill or the elite was killed but we didn't get the mine, does the elite re-pop so that you can try to kill him again?

I dont Understand...I've killed ALL the Troggs two different times...the Mine is full of Alliance NPCs and it won't mark the quest fulfilled. Is this quest just bugged?
