Another quest designed by Blizzard to be a PITA to complete in a group. Each sack is on a respawn timer so only 1 character at a time can pick it up. Takes several times as long to complete in a group as it does solo, and that if only if there are no other characters around grabbing sacks.

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.

  • Grol'dom's Missing KodoNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    Friend, if you are traveling south to Thorn Hill, I was wondering if you could locate one of our missing kodos? Not every caravan has made it up the pass from Far Watch Post. Those Razormane brutes hijacked a pack animal yesterday morning.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Kodo's ReturnNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    The great beast rises slowly to its feet, the loose Barrens soil spilling from its revitalized limbs. Instinctively it trudges back toward its home at Grol'dom Farm. You'll want to check in with Kranal Fiss to make sure the kodo made it.
