The Admiral’s Orders is a low-level Horde quest in Durotar that ends with a single hand-in at Razor Hill. You carry a captured document off a slain human officer and deliver it to the settlement’s commander, Gar’Thok. It takes only a short ride once you have the item in your bags.
Quick answer: Take Admiral Proudmoore’s Orders to Gar’Thok on the upper floor of the central bunker in Razor Hill, Durotar, to complete the quest.
Get Admiral Proudmoore’s Orders first
You cannot hand in the quest without the right item, and it starts from a chest inside Tiragarde Keep on the Durotar coast. The steps below get you the document you need.
Keep Admiral Proudmoore’s Orders in your bags. If you destroy it but still hold Benedict’s Key, you can return to the chest to obtain the item again.
Where to find Gar’Thok in Razor Hill
Gar’Thok is the commander of Razor Hill, the main Horde town in central Durotar. He stands inside the large wooden and stone bunker in the middle of the settlement, on the raised upper platform. A yellow question mark hovers over him once you hold the orders, marking him as the turn-in target.
Turn in the quest to Gar’Thok
Rewards for The Admiral’s Orders
The hand-in grants experience, reputation with two Horde factions, and a small coin reward. The experience scales with your level and lands around 625 XP, which is often enough to push a fresh character to Level 6.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Experience | Around 625 XP (scales with level) |
| Orgrimmar reputation | 100 |
| Darkspear Trolls reputation | 100 |
| Coin | 1 silver 75 copper |
Confirm it worked and what unlocks next
You know the turn-in registered when Admiral Proudmoore’s Orders leaves your bags, the experience bar jumps, and you see the two reputation increase messages for Orgrimmar and the Darkspear Trolls. If your character hits a level threshold, a “You have reached Level 6” notice appears.
Right after completing it, Gar’Thok offers the follow-up quest Encroachment, which sends you back toward Tiragarde Keep to slay 4 Tiragarde Outrunners, 4 Tiragarde Flesheaters, and 4 Tiragarde Mariners before reporting to him again. Pick it up while you are already standing in front of him to save a return trip.
