Objectives

Use the Single-Stage Booster Rockets to launch the cages of 8 Kezan Citizens or Goblin Survivors. Though the quest text refers to specific types of goblins, all are identified as Captured Goblins.

• Cages launched x8

Provided item:  [Single-Stage Booster Rockets]

Description

We really don't have time to rescue those that are incompetent enough to get themselves captured over and over. Still, since I have some extra rockets leftover, this problem should be a snap.

Take these single-stage booster rockets down into the Slave Pits to the north and put them on the cages.

The cage will lift off into orbit and those idiots will be freed.

Progress

You still have more cages to liberate from their Azerothian bonds.

Completion

Oops. Well, what goes up must eventually come down.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 3 50
• 420 XP
• 250 reputation with Bilgewater Cartel

You will also be able to choose one of the following:

	[Rocket-Fuel Soaked Bracers]		[Orbital Leggings]
	[Cage-Launcher's Mail]

Notes

• The pirates drop [Slave Pits Cage Key]s, but as the flavor text suggests, the goblins don't need any "stinkin' keys".

On launching:

Captured Goblin says: What are these rockets for?!

Captured Goblin says: 3... 2... 1...

Captured Goblin says: The pirates have keys!

Captured Goblin says: Mommy!

Captured Goblin says: <Name>, you and Hobart are going to be the death of me!

Captured Goblin says: Um... you do realize that there's a bottom to this cage?!

Captured Goblin says: Tell my wife/husband I love him/her very much!

Captured Goblin says: Just open the door... oh no!
