Quest Log

A Possible Link (Alliance)

A Possible Link is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 58 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 31.2, 59.5. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 5,150 experience.

Description

The furbolgs that live east of here are more aggressive and bestial than the ones we're used to. Our forces have squared off with them more than once, and the survivors always speak of a dark, slimy substance dripping from their corpses.

Their condition could be linked with the contaminants we found on Vordrassil's remains.

Bring me samples of the furbolgs' blood. You will find them in the Rage Fang Shrine and the Heart's Blood Shrine, far to the east.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Dark InfluenceGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    When the tree Vordrassil fell, its hollow remains grew roots deep into the ground. I want you to go north of here to the three locations where the trunk shattered and go as far beneath the ground as you can. You'll find them west of Grizzlemaw.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Children of UrsocGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The furbolgs of Grizzly Hills carry with them a corruption of some kind, that is for sure. Tribal war has broken out amongst them after years of peaceful coexistence. What remains to be seen is whether the bears they worship as gods have also been tainted.
