Description

A moment there, {class}. We've got more problems here than just the end of the world as we know it. Our vigil here's threatened by the quilboar. We've been content to leave them be when they stay in the Kraul, sure, but every day they press further and further out towards our camp. Mahka, bless her green heart, wouldn't ever forgive me if I went out bashing heads in myself, but if you could help drive back those that're wandering near the camp, I'd appreciate it.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Smarts-is-SmartsSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    My monstrosity is taking shape! All that's left is to stuff his skull with something useful. I'm talking about brains, <name>. And here I'm going to be picky. The abomification process causes significant brain damage so it's best to start with someone smart.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • MangletoothSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Una here used to spend time in Camp Taurajo. She's told me about a quilboar that used to be captured there, named Mangletooth. Quite the clever one, for a quilboar. I've been tryin' to think what got these quilboar riled up so much recently, and it might be that Mangletooth escaped Taurajo alive.
