Bonus Objective triggered upon entering Aruuna's Desolation, approx 74,48 (the big burning set of trees off the road).
- Frenzied Ancient - big tree man in the smaller circle on your minimap, 76,48. Will start a patrol route after spawning.
- Young Prowlers - the animals running throughout the zone with blue lightning bolts over their heads, interact with 7. Each animal has a set small route, plant yourself as close to the middle as possible and wait to be in range before attempting to interact.
Edit: Running out - at 77,50, I also found [object=228012] which, when plucked from the ground, turned into the ilvl 563 version of [item=116116].
The prowlers can be calmed while on a mount without dismounting you. This is useful for both catching them (they run) and for moving onto the next mob quickly.
im now lvl 60 and it will not let me get this achievement i click on the prowlers but cant do anything else, window for quest doesnt pop up at all
