Quest Text
As battle rages over the landscape of Alterac Valley, so too does it rage through the Coldtooth and Irondeep mines. Both are rich sources of minerals and both are used to store supplies; it's no wonder they are so highly valued! Help our war effort, {name}! Capture one of the mines for the Horde! To capture a mine, enter one that we do not control and kill its leader. When that is done, the mine will be ours and we'll send troops to protect it!
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
