A Choice to Make
A World of Warcraft quest in Nagrand. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I have multiple 100's and chose the tankworks on one character. Comparing the two, the Corral is the FAR better choice. the demolisher does not do signifigantly more damage, does not allow you to loot special items, cut Timber, mine ore, skin beasts, etc. the Corral and war wolf will however scale with gear since you keep all your skills as normal.
To clarify comments on alliance side version of this quest:
As a horde balance druid I can cast and stay mounted on the Frostwolf in the same way as when not mounted (e.g. I can tap a target with Moonfire while riding past it). Attacks and kick-back damage from mobs do not dismount you. You can mount up while in combat. You can gather herbs while mounted.
Like any mount this is not usable indoors - and you will be automatically dismounted when you run through a doorway from outside to in.
Obviously I chose the Corral and am happy with my choice (questing feels a lot quicker) - a bodyguard from my Garrison is enough to help with silver mobs, etc.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Challenge of the Masters
The time has come to challenge the Burning Blade masters. Go to the back of the cavern. There you will find the challenge ring and the masters watching over it from above. Pull the blade from the middle of the ring to issue your challenge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trouble at the Overwatch
Yesterday, I sent two of my best scouts to spy on the ogres at Mar'gok's Overwatch. I haven't heard back from them. <name>, would you do me the honor of checking on them? I'm sure it's nothing; the Overwatch is a large fortification. I'd feel better knowing they're okay.
