2. Moonshine Run, Baby Griffons...

Beautiful places, interesting stories, and quests in World of Warcraft

MORE INTERESTING PLACES AND QUESTS -2


4. URGENT DELIVERY

A dwarf, Foggy MacKreel, who is hidden in the remaining tower of the broken part of the Thandol Span (Wetlands/Arathi) bridge. To reach him you must have some sort of speed buff in order to jump across, levitate, or teleport. It is not a quest that requires you to save the world, but is a fun quest (or a guild competition?) to see how fast you can deliver his Moonshine.

Urgent Delivery


5. IN THE EYE

From what I understand there is a Horde quest from a NPC located in the right eye of the large stone skull entrance to the Wailing Caverns in the Barrens. You will have to go around from the top to jump down into the “eye.” There are several other NPCs located there and one especially useful to leatherworkers.

LOCATION:
Barrens, Wailing Caverns Entrance

FACTION:
Horde or Alliance

Link:
In the Eye (leather working)


6. BABY GRIFFON

This quest has probably one of the most beautiful endings both graphically and emotionally speaking (watching them fly away with their baby) The quest starts with Gryphon Master Talonaxe in Hinterlands where you will follow the quest chain to locate Sharpbeak’s feather.

7. SIGNALING THE PLANE

One of my favorite quests ends on a small island off the coast of Azshara. During the course of the quest you have to head out to Azshara , locate an airplane landing pad, and shoot a flare gun up into the sky to alert Xiggs Fuselighter, the dwarf pilot. Quite a bit of work to get all the way out there from Ironforge, but fun!

8. ODDITIES but Worth Seeing

ZONE
: AZSHARA

LEVEL:
49-60


Hidden Gnome outpost, Azshara. On the very Southern edge (almost directly due south of Ruins of Elderrath) along the shore is a small gnome outpost with engineering recipes, the Deepdive Helmet for one (Engineering recipe).


Wreck of the Horizon

Swimming further south from the Gnome Outpost, is a rock/island with Second Mate Shandrill kneeling and staring at a pile of debris in the water. If you swim to exactly where she is looking, you will find a sunken ship. Inside the ship are some friendly ghosts, Roland GearDabbler for one. No quest, just something interesting to see or for RP purposes. You can actually stand on the floating planks out there in the water and having a guild meeting? Haha

Swimming back to the short slightly NE, there is an inlet with some Horizon crew meandering about the shore. Continue into the inlet and there you will meet Captain Venessa Beltis with a quest. After piles of naga, you will realize the quest doesn’t really complete and there isn’t an award. But hey, its something interesting.
