One of the early quests you'll encounter in the subterranean zone of Deepholm in World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic is "Gunship Down." This quest immerses you in the aftermath of a fallen Horde gunship named the Storm's Fury, requiring you to piece together the story of its demise by finding three crucial clues scattered around the crash site. This guide will walk you through the steps to start and complete the "Gunship Down" quest, providing precise coordinates for each clue to save you time and frustration.

Starting the Gunship Down Quest

Location and Prerequisites

To begin the "Gunship Down" quest, you need to have reached Deepholm, which is accessible after completing the introductory quests in Mount Hyjal or Vashj'ir and using the portal from Orgrimmar or Stormwind City. Upon arriving in Deepholm, you will receive a series of quests that eventually lead you to the Temple of Earth. It is here that you will receive the "Gunship Down" quest from one of the NPCs, likely Maruut Stonebinder or Seer Komo.

Quest Details

Quest Giver: Seer Komo or Maruut Stonebinder

Zone: Deepholm

Quest Objective: Investigate the crash site of the Storm's Fury and find three clues about the gunship's demise.

Completing the Gunship Down Quest

Once you accept the quest, you'll be directed to the center of Deepholm, just south of the Temple of Earth, where the Storm's Fury lies wrecked. The quest requires you to find three specific clues to complete it. Here are the details and coordinates for each clue.

First Clue: Captain Skullshatter

Head to the specified coordinates where the entrance to the uppermost level of the ship can be found at [54.19, 73.90].

Enter the ship and make your way to the captain's quarters.

Inside the captain's quarters, you will find Captain Skullshatter lying dead on the left side of the chamber.

Next to his body, you will see the Captain's Log. Interact with it to collect the first clue and start an additional quest called "Captain's Log," which you can turn in later at the Temple of Earth.

Second Clue: Slain Cannoneer

Navigate to the specified coordinates.

Look for an Unexploded Artillery Shell lying on the ground amidst the wreckage.

Interact with the shell to gather the third and final clue.

Returning to the Temple of Earth.

After collecting all three clues and the Captain's Log, head back to the Temple of Earth to continue the Deepholm introductory questline. Here's what you need to do next:

Return to Maruut Stonebinder or Seer Komo at the Temple of Earth.

Turn in the "Gunship Down" quest.

If you picked up the Captain's Log, turn in the additional quest to the appropriate NPC.

Completing "Gunship Down" and the related quests will further advance the Deepholm storyline, granting you experience and rewards that will aid you in your journey through the zone.
