Khazgorm can also be right at the back of the mine.

The pit is in the southern barrens just to the east of the main road, you'll find Khazgorm in one corner of it, hidden behind a wooden barrier, he's lvl 26

mine tloc 47, 85
prospector tloc is 48, 86

Prospector Khazgorm is in the back of the dig site kinda hidden a bit. He is level 26.

I forgot where I got the quest? Where is the guy so I can turn the quest in? I found the journal at 48, 86

It's a pretty far walk to 46,85, so I recommend that if you have done the Tribes at War quest from Mangletooth, get 10 Blood Shards and get the Spirit of the Wind from him (requires level 20).

You turn the quest around 46,76. The guy walks around on that path. LOWER BARRENS :)

i would like to point out that khazgorm hits pretty hard. just be warned.

loc 48.85&nbsp At the southeast corner of the pit for me.

I waited a while in the middle by the cauldron and tents,and he never spawned,so i went to the back far corner,and was just clearing out the area when he spawned on me as i was fighting 2 other's,nearly wiped me too,but managed to kill him with the help of a health potion.So i would suggest the far corner,if looking for him.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention,if you don't have a slowing spell(frost shock,hamstring etc)i wouldn't bother,the mobs run like Linford Christie when they are low on health,and WILL gather up a load of other's to gang you.

keep running south along the gold road,you cant miss it, it's on the left.

the prospector is right at the back of the open cast mine.

It's pretty easy, as long as you don't agro too many.

If you die on this quest, take it as an opportunity to search for pros.kahzgorm as ghost.. much easier to locate..

Also can spawn at 48,86, near the tents.

The workers respawn farely quickly so watch your back on the way out

Also, its worth pointing out that no less than three rare-elites are in the proximity of this mine - a green Thunder Lizard just north of it and two dwarves (explosions and stonework expert) in the mine itself.

These are not always there obviously, but being 24 elites its worth keeping an eye out for either avoiding an accidental pull on them, or getting some nice loot of them :)

The boss that drops the journal is lvl 26 and almost always has adds.&nbsp Attempted this at lvl 21.&nbsp Killing the other guys wasn't a problem, but it was impossible to kill the prospector, as he was red.&nbsp This is a lvl 26 quest in reality.

Yes u can pull the spawn/rez routine, but i do not reccommend it as these guys mob

Soloed as a 24 warrior just now. The entire line, in fact. I admit without hamstring I may have had a few scrapes but it's such a big wide space why can't you just run away until the adds deaggro?

I just did this quest with a 23 Warlock, and have only been playing Warcraft for about a week now. With a Warlock, this quest was by no means difficult. Keep your best wand in hand and let your Voidwalker tank. Walk within range of an enemy and use Curse of Agony to pull them away. CTRL+1 to send your Voidwalker after him which will immediately begin casting Torment to keep the aggro on him. Cast Immolation and Corruption, then just start unloading with your wand (it may be tempting to blast them with a bolt, but just using your wand allows time for mana regen). At no point should the enemy turn to aggro you. When they get low on health, they'll run, but none made it more than five steps or so. Some didn't even get a chance to run.

The point is to keep the enemy as close to you as possible. If you have any way to damage them with range (+1 for casters/hunters), that is your best bet even when you're toe-to-toe.

Khazgorm was defeated primarily by my Voidwalker since I accidently aggro'd an Excevator in the process of dotting Khazgorm, I kept on the Excevator while I left my Voidwalker to beat on the afflicted Khazgorm.

Just take them one at a time, and it's cake.

Quest was easy for lvl 24 Warlock. Hardest part was waiting for Gann to show up again. He had apparently been killed. Finally found him south of 46,75 when he respawned.

If you crazy mages with your area effects and freezes are done being smug, here's some advice for the rest:

Mob quests with runners generally are not easy even if you can take one down fairly easily (without dying, that is), getting just one at a time is very hard unless you can time a freeze or stun just right. So maybe wait on this one until they turn green for you.

Or try partying. Seriously, are you afraid of cooties or something? You'll both get the quest done in half the time, if that.

And Khazgorm is in the pit, just keep looking.

I found Khazgorm right in the middle of the pit, next to the cauldron. 23 UD Priest, pretty easy quest, dont know what you guys are talking about

did thsi last night, and the guy was hiding behind the fallen pillar all the way in the back

I've just soloed this quest on my lvl19 mage (without dying)and completed it. You have to take things slowly and try to draw the dwarves from a long range and take them one by one. When a dwarf gets too near, frost nova and move back, then start bolting again.

As for Khazgorm, I managed to take him down by placing myself on the large log in the bottom area near the slope. When you hit Khazgorm with a fireball, he'll have to make quite a detour up the log to catch you, that's how you can reduce his hp dramatically before actually confronting a close fight with him. When he gets near, same thing. Frost Nova and move away, then start hitting.

But be warned, the lvl22+ mobs have quite a high resistance to spells from what I've experienced. If any of them resisted your spells twice, its best to run and come back to start a fresh fight.

Btw, I have to thank some priest earlier for buffing me with +20 stamina.

I use the Cosomos mod so the loc of Gann for me was 46,81 near a burning road marker (when he gave me quest and when i did hand in )
After fighting to the bottom of the pit Finding the 15 excavators and 5 foremans was fairly easy.
There were 2 silver elites 1 at edge and one near tent
The Prospector was to left of the tent in another little cutout Level 26

This Quest Sucks. No 2 ways about it. Even if you don't get an add while you are fighting them, you get one when the buggers run off. I died 4 times after I'd gotten all the excavators and foremen I needed cause Khazgorm wouldn't spawn...

the journal is no where near the tent and camp and cauldron. its past it in a dead end area, hes behind a log with 3 adds floating around.

I solo'ed this with my lvl 23 warlock. I died twice but had a tough time finding khazgorm, he is in the very back, and will drop to journal. I liked this quest, it was good for the XP and for getting some wool cloth and a bit of silk.

Hmmm having a tough time to find the stupid book died 3 times with a lvl 25 warrior good place to get xp still :D

learn2play this is such an easy quest

I have to agree....I soloed this as a lvl 24 mage. No problems...maybe having 3 lvl 60 toons doesn't make you any good at playing?

Just to help out i've got the titan mod and I found the excavation pit at (21,59). Just south west of the dude that gives you the quest. there is a building in the side of the mountain it is right below that. Hope it helps.

Nevermind...

Gann is on various locations, just follow the golden southern road and u will find him sooner or later, I found him very near Thousand Needles.

Happy hunting!
Staika

The problem with this quest is that Gann keeps on getting killed by the Alliance as they wander down the Gold road so you can spend loads of time waiting for him to re-spawn!
