Both sides are gearing up to take on Garrosh in the Siege of Orggrimar. Vol'jin is leading a troll revolt, of which the Alliance is helping by preparing an attack by sea. Players in both factions are building towards this by killing Kor'kron in the Barrens to collect supplies in preparation for the attack. Yes, the Alliance and Trolls are working together against Vol'jin. Max level players, when completely the weekly quest to collect 150 Wood, Oil, Stone and Meat receive not only 200 Valor but a Radical Mojo which can be combined with a non-BoP Latent Kor'kron item to create a level 483 piece of gear for whatever spec you are in at the time. Various minibosses across the Barrens also have a chance to drop a Radical Mojo. Another thing players can do are either protect caravans of goods, or loot overturned caravans of opposing factions for quick material pickups. Other loot includes a few cosmetic items and minipets, purchased with various amounts of collected materials. Low level players are phased, so until you are level 85 you won't see any of the high-level mobs.
