Objectives

Obtain a Broken Chalice, a Dusty Vase, an Earthen Hieroglyph, and a Trogg Tool.

•  [Broken Chalice]
•  [Dusty Vase]
•  [Earthen Hieroglyph]
•  [Trogg Tool]

Description

First things first, though. I'm not just going to sit here and tell you everything we've discovered down in those ruins. We've got problems to take care of!

Most pressing is those upstart The Reliquary hooligans, just on the other side of the tomb. They're making off with all of our loot! Don't they know that diggin's dwarf work?

Hunt down a few of their "excavators" - more like bandits, if you ask me - and bring some of these precious artifacts back to me.

THEN we'll talk titans.

Progress

Your bags look heavy. Heavy with liberated artifacts, I presume?

Completion

Chalice... worthless.

Vase... counterfit.

Hieroglyph... interesting, but rather common.

What's this? I've never seen trogg craftsmanship of this caliber! You've stumbled upon something rare indeed, <name>.

Alright, fine. Let's talk titans, shall we?

Notes

 [15-30] A Dwarf's Got Needs is a separate quest line, not directly attached to this one. South of Dustwind Dig is the Tomb of the Watchers, the new titan structure revealed during the Cataclysm. Bloodwatcher Point, the horde camp on this side of the Badlands, is on its southern edge. Southeast of there, along the edges of the valley, Reliquary Excavators are busy digging. Go killing.
