64.22, 27.29 to be exact

Comment by 65003

Kill the Marsh Caribou around the village to the east.

Comment by binho

Steam vents on 65,29.

Comment by 161175

Vent at 68.22, 23.88

Comment by 124958

This felt slightly vague in the description. I was trying to use the Hides next to the vents/geysers which had steam shooting out of them -Its not them though. Look around and you will see small vents which have red plants surrounding them.

Comment by 201645

The Vents are also right outside the camp eg. 75,32

Comment by WARBOSZ

Good to pair up with the quests Souls of the Decursed and Cleaning Up the Pools - you'll probably end up killing off Fizzcranks as you go along and find the spare parts.

For the Horde!

Comment by 244939

Yes . You need to kill all sort of deers, gazelles in green part neighborhood (i.e. 70.40), which they drop hide's. Those hides you taking to small geysers with flowers around (i.e. 68.35) and turn them into Steam cured hide.

Comment by Guadah

Start off by killing the Marsh Caribou's Located right outside of the Village to get the Uncured Caribou Hide. Drop rate sucks (20.0%).

Once you get 5 take them to the Geyser Fields (66.28). Approach any pillar (Geyser) that has steam coming & red plants near it, and stand next to it, right click your Uncured Caribou Hide stack and it will turn them into Steam Cured Hide

Combine with:
Cleaning up the Pools
Souls of the Decursed

*Just Grab your Uncursed Caribou Hides first!

Comment by Shorlin

Look for the vents with DARK/RED smoke coming out.
I tried at a lot of vents with just red flowers and white smoke coming out and it doesn't work there.

68.23 is where I got it done.

Comment by 106972

First you need kill http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=25680
And drop 5x http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35288
Next go at 65,30 for example and use it. :)

Comment by 243280

69,29 :) not too much agroo

Comment by thycondrius

50% drop rate for me. Easy and fast quest

Comment by 74529

Comment by 258610

First go to 65-38 and kill Marsh Caribau. You need to farm 5 Uncured Caribou Hide. Then go to 67-34 and right click hides that you farmed... Gz you completed!

Comment by BoltFTW

Easy quest.
1. Kill Marsh Caribou *I got mine rather quickly*
2. I went to a vent right outside the camp. 76,33

Comment by 208337

Ok, this might be a stupid, stupid thing to add, but I just made this mistake: I thought I needed 10 hides, so I farmed 10 from caribou and went over to a team vent...then completed to 5.

You'd think ti would be obvious...but some (me) doon't always see the obvious. >.< Wish they were "unique (5)" like most quest items....

Comment by 112896

Just wanna know each uncured hide takes up 1 bag space? caused it seems to be happenin to me

Comment by 27627

Opens the quest Shrouds of the Scourge.

Comment by Tetrabitri

everyone is saying that you have to use the dark/red vents, but i was able to use one of the white ones to complete, maybe the difference was that i was standing Inside the vent?

Comment by Venomshocker

Prereq: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11893

Comment by 133035

This is the Steam Vent closest to Taunka 'Le and hopefully the ones who are still confused at what we're saying will find this useful http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3537:696300

Comment by 113278

This is the closest steam vent to the camp. http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3537:757324

Comment by 286893

Is there a prequest to this all he offered me was Load'er up and now offers nothing.

Comment by 5057

Don't forget to watch what happens after you complete.

Comment by mecheye

The vents look totally different depending on your graphics settings.
My vents looked white and i have everything on low.

Comment by 367840

This is a fairly easy quest there will be some (caribou) near the camp were you pick the quest up the drop rate is pretty hi it took me about 5 minutes. after you collected 5 of there hides bring then to these steam vents there easy to find if you have quest helper. you can just click hear. Ok so if you already have it the objective box will show up one the map that's the steam vents. stand in the steam when you have all of your hides and your standing in the steam right click your hides and that will give you the quest credit.....good liuck

Dialogue after you finish the quest and you stick around

Geartwist: It's really going to work this time....right?
Geartwist: It works, Dorain! Look! It actually works...
Geartwist: Here I goooooooooo!

He gets inside the flying machine and starts flying really slow in a circle. The plane explodes and he falls out.

Geartwist: OUCH!
Geartwist: I give up! So much for goblin ingenuity!

Comment by 478184

Comment by Youda

worked on 63.9 27.4 for me

Comment by 523390

I just did this quest and had something odd happen.

I picked up 5 hides and made my way to a vent. My inventory was full so I dropped something thinking the cured hides would stack. However, when I attempted to cure a second hide, I was told that my inventory was full. So I dropped something else and the cured hides stacked anyways! So I wound up with one empty spot for no particular reason. Was a little strange.

Comment by 733783

The enemies are not marked in any way so read carefully: 1) kill Marsh Caribou's (outside the village at 78,33) until you have five "Uncured Caribou Hide" 2) go to 66,30 and stand on the hill by the steam vents 3) open the bag and push at the quest items you recieved earlier to steam them

Comment by 753379

Basically, what I found, was a large hole with red flowers growing around it... it looked EXACTLY like the other ones, but it had no steam blowing out of it... and was too high so I couldnt stand directly on it. I'd suggest standing right up next to it :) Pretty easy to find, actually, once you know what to look for.

Comment by JHarker

I did this quest (chain) right after the quests from the D.E.H.T.A's encampment.

Comment by HugoRacco

Coords : Borean Tundra ( 65.1 - 38.4 )
Beast : Marsh Caribou
Drop this quest: Uncured Caribou Hide
Use: Turn an Uncured Caribou Hide into a Steam Cured Hide. Must be standing near a steam vent in the Geyser Fields or the Surrounding areas.

Geyser: Coords ( 66.2 - 35.1 )

Done.

Comment by 938258

I found this quest pretty frustrating. There are TONS of things about that fit the definition of "steam vent" in that they are, judging by their appearance, "venting steam", but it's incredibly picky about the one you actually use. It took me a while to find one, even when I was in the area it said they were. I stood inside the things which looked to me as if they were "steam vents" (again, visually they appeared to be VENTING STEAM), but it kept saying that they were not, in fact, "steam vents".

People in the comments often mention one with red flowers or some such around it, but I couldn't find it and that is not the one I used. I used a regular white one at 66, 29, and the only difference visually was that every now and then it would spew a tad more steam than the others.

Comment by 984689

this quest was quite annoying... even most of the geysers with red flowers did not work for me. I only found one that worked, a taller, skinnier geyser with flowers and white steam shooting out. It was on the border of the geyser fields, with the shades and pools of water.

Comment by Kozzie

Confirmed 71,28 - was able to cure all five hides - downvoted the original because of the statement "look around" really - simply adding coordinates would have been better.

Comment by 1069604

HOORAY THANKS GUYS!

Comment by chinacat

One of the worst quests in the game so far...had NO IDEA until I read the comments here on wowhead. Fail on this one Blizz!

Comment by Kira93

To cure the hides go to 70:30 around the borders between the geysers and the water pools around the east

Comment by Oceandust

If you're like me and couldn't figure out what you needed to bring to the Steam Vent, just go to the grassy area to the south and you'll find neutral mobs named Marsh Caribou that drop the quest item Uncured Caribou Hide. You need 5 of these in order to complete the quest.

Patching Up

Fezzix Geartwist at Taunka'le Village wants you to bring him 5 Steam Cured Hides.

	Steam Cured Hide (5)
	Uncured Caribou Hide (5)

Description

Remember all that gnomish duct tape you brought me?

Well, I've found a use for it. The body of this flying machine is so banged up in places, that I'm going to need to reinforce it if I ever hope to fly.

Dorain over there has been telling me that the taunka use steam cured caribou leather for making watertight containers. Marsh caribou live all around the village and in the Flood Plains to the south. Get the best hides you can find and cure them over the steam vents in the Geyser Fields.
