This is a stupid quest. Flying around going through blue bubbles and supposed to be investigating the north beach, for what? I don't get it.

Comment by Syrlin

If you encounter a bug where you cannot enter the B.I.R.D. vehicle and still have a special action button from a previous quest (like "Chuck Burger"), a fix is to simply die. Just mount up and fly into the air and dismount to your character's demise. The special action button should disappear then and you will be able to enter the vehicle and proceed with the quest. Credit goes to this post on the official forums.

I thought the objective was to get the bar to 100 and then you will 'complete' the investigation. However, I think if you just fly over to the area where there is 'azerite' glowing on the beach, you can take a picture and the quest will complete for the 1st part of the quest. The other 2 steps are the same. One spot is on the beach again, and the other is in a the cave.

I just bet that the same dev that worked on Bat Versus World in the previous questline made this one too. Here's (more or less) what I wrote last time:

Another quest with totally un-in-tu-itive mechanics that makes me think it was made by new devs that don't know WoW gameplay very well. Whoever made it, they did not do a good job; you should not have to come to Wowhead first to find out how a quest like this is supposed to work without it being very annoying.

P.S. why on earth does Wowhead's profanity filter trigger for the word un-in-tu-itive?

Sound about right? Please do better, Blizz!

Also, WHY DOES RENZIK THE SHIV NOT HAVE A VOICE ACTOR?

To make this confusing quest even more confusing, there are two of Overseer Dritz within the immediate area. The Overseer Dritz you need for the last part of this quest is in the cave and NOT the Overseer Dritz on the platform.

/way #862 20.70 55.61 Mine entrance - The Overseer Dritz you are looking for is in here

/way #862 17.97 61.41 Platform - This is NOT the Overseer Dritz you are looking for

Comment by Molls

Dritz was just inside the cave/mine for me. Awful quest design.

Comment by animekev

Ca anyone post coordinates of all the spots we need to go? I can't find the shipping vessel.

Comment by slythwolf

This quest just isn't fun.

Comment by Rimien

I really wish the "stay a while and listen" things didn't require you to click them at such a precise moment (in that case, precisely after taking the quest and before starting to complete it)

Comment by Mindsoothe

Overseer Fritz is inside the cave. We are so used with dragon flying that we "think" we'll run out of vigor. Think of this as steadyflight. Just make sure you fill your fuel bar before you go in, pause inside the cave when your target button is 'lit' then hit it like taking a photo to complete the quest.

B.I.R.D. Watching continues the Uncovering the Truth storyline on the Kaja'Coast of Zuldazar. There are several parts.
Watch a video first.

Required	Coordinates	Comments
Take control of the Hotwired B.I.R.D.	22.04, 57.26	Start from the big nest with quest giver Monte Gazlowe. Use the B.I.R.D. vehicle to spy on the Darkfuse. Fly through blue bubbles to gain power. If targeted by a red laser beam, hit the speed key and fly away from the source.
Investigate Northern Beach	19.03, 55.36	There is a faint circle of gold streaks around the target location. The Northern Beach is to the right and it's not marked in blue on the mini map. There are two Venture Miners talking. Hover. Press Button 1 even if it's gray. There should be the sound of a camera shutter. You can read the dialogue between the two workers in the Chat box. Don't return to the nest.
Shipping vessel investigated	18.83, 57.91	Turn around. Nearby on the beach is a Large bot in a circle of faint gold streaks. Press Button 1. There's more dialogue in the Chat box.
Fly into cave and Spy on Overseer Dritz	20.72, 55.72	Turn around and fly to a cave that’s close to the northern beach. The cave is at ground level. If you see the Coastline rocket drill, you've gone a cave too far. It's the first cave closest to the northern beach. Press Button 1. There is a cut scene between Overseer Dritz and an Alchemist. When it's done, you are transported back to the nest and Monte Gazlowe.
You'll be hit by fewer laser beams if you go to each of the 3 locations without returning to the nest. The next quest is Price Hike. You'll fly to the barge at the other side of the beach at 17.88, 60.97 and kill Overseer Dritz. Dritz is riding a robot mount. Once you've dealt with him, click on the rocket on the barge. It will take you to the Coastal rocket drill for the return trip to Undermine.

Waypoints for B.I.R.D. Watching and the follow-up quest, Price Hike:
/way 22.04 57.26 Start at large nest
/way 19.03, 55.36 Northern Beach
/way 18.83, 57.91 Shipping vessel (big bot)
/way 20.72, 55.71 Cave with Overseer Dritz
/way 17.88 60.97 Barge with Overseer Dritz
/way 22.52 54.09 Coastal rocket drill

Comment by Mortizzle

This is a fundamentally annoying quest. The power drops faster than you can even find stupid Dritz, and the watchers are constantly draining. If I weren't a completionist, I'd just quit. The only good thing about this is that the power-ups are "dropped packets".

Comment by Noctula

The thing that confused me was: how to investigate. The trick is, zoom out of your mini map so you see the blue circles where to fly to. Second trick is, you have to fly really low before you can take a picture with the first button that more looks like a shooting target or rifle visor.

B.I.R.D. Watching

Control the Hotwired B.I.R.D. to spy on Darkfuse activities on the Kaja'Coast.

	Low energy warning (1)
	Hotwired B.I.R.D. activated (1)
	Take control of the Hotwired B.I.R.D. (1)
	Northern beach investigated (1)
	Shipping vessel investigated (1)
	Spy on Overseer Dritz (1)

Description

I took those parts you collected and hotwired the components into some new machinery, then stuffed it back into the bot. Now it can be piloted usin' this remote control. The remote also lets us see and hear anything the bot does. I don't think we're gonna learn what we need to just by killin'. We're gonna need to beat Gallywix at his own game and spy on his workers. You wanna do us the honors, <name>? I'll talk you through it.
