A Frenzied Defender

A Frenzied Defender is a quest for level 36-80 in Ohn'ahran Plains. It is step 6 of 12 in the Garden of Secrets storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ohn'ahran Plains at 28.5, 48.7. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

I have noticed that these gardens have rather diverse defenses, from the dragons to the drakonid and ancients... and even the wildlife!

But there is one defender that seems to have become rather too zealous in its protectiveness. It even tried to swoop at me when I arrived!

And since we know something has been killing within these groves, it cannot hurt to be too cautious.

Unfortunately, this creature must be slain before it can do more damage.

Honestly this quest, combined with the entire quest chain, made me feel like Blizzard thinks we're absolutely and totally daft. I don't mind being railroaded by a quest line, it happens all the time, but this one? You just want the option to shout "Dude he's a primalist!" at the green dragons at every given turn. All he needs is a monocle and a beard two twirl, while he eats a baby dragon and goes "nya ha ha".
But instead we help this poor, concerned blue dragon, and then go all Pikachu face when he turns out to be a bad guy. Oh no.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Emerald TearsOhn'ahran Plains · Level 36-80

    We may've only recently returned to the Emerald Gardens, relatively speaking, but we carry our long-lasting feelings with us. Many of us are still reeling from the death of Ysera, my grandmother. Including myself. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with her and to learn more from her.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Anchors to LifeOhn'ahran Plains · Level 36-80

    Based on my research, I believe there's a way to reestablish Ysera's ties to the Emerald Dream, so we can bring her closer to Azeroth. When Ysera died, the Winter Queen used her own power to restore her in Ardenweald.
