Everything About Undermine Cartels

As we already mentioned, Goblins have created cartels that run the city. There are four major Cartels that offer weekly contracts. Each one of them comes with different perks, rewards, and access to specialized goods.

• Speak with Kaydee Racketring in the Incontinental Hotel to select your Cartel.

Major Cartels

• Bilgewater Cartel – Led by Monte Gazlowe. Inventors and explosives experts gather together in the Bilgewater Flats.

• Blackwater Raiders – Led by Baron Revilgaz. This cartel is a rising force in shipping and luxury travel. You'll find them at Blackwater Marina.

• Steamwheedle Cartel – Led by Marin Noggenfogger. The oldest and largest Cartel in Undermine focuses on high-quality alchemy. Their base of operations is The Vatworks.

• Venture Co. – Led by Grimla Fizzlecrank. This cartel controls an important resource supply network. Find them in The Heaps.

• Completing Cartel missions earns you reputation and access to some sweet rewards, including the prestigious Topskimmer Special rocket mount.

New Dungeon: Operation: Floodgate

Of course, this WoW update comes with a brand-new dungeon for players to explore. In it, you must prevent a flood in The Ringing Deeps caused by Gallywix’s lackeys. Operation: Floodgate consists of two primary zones—The Waterworks and The G.R.I.D..

Dungeon Bosses

• Big M.O.M.M.A. – A prototype mech piloted by Silva Stratospark, guarding the Waterworks with experimental weaponry.

• Demolition Duo – Keeza Quickfuse and Bront, an explosive duo hired to destroy the dam.

• Swampface – A monstrous creature lurking beneath the riverbed, awakened by the chaos.

• Geezle Gigazap – The mastermind behind the entire operation.

Before going into the dungeon, make sure you grab the "Operation: Floodgate: Disposing of the Garbage" quest from Paks Topskimmer for the best possible rewards.

Final Thoughts

The new WoW The War Within zone is filled with content for you to explore. The plot is mafia-inspired, dependent on alliances and cartels. We hope you're a fan of such concepts. See you in Undermine!
