Hunters, you may want to put your pet on 'passive' while leaving Avalanchion's vault. Most of the mobs are preoccupied with fighting each other and won't bother you but some of them cast an aoe that WILL pull your pet and you into a big headache if you have your pet set on 'defensive'.

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.

  • One With the GroundDeepholm · Level 30-35

    The leader of the Stone Mother's forces here is the great earth elemental lord, Avalanchion. Luckily for us, the Twilight's Hammer cultists have decided to invade his lair. They're seeking to bind his elementals to their will. We will take advantage of the chaos.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stonefather's BoonDeepholm · Level 30-35

    With the Stonefather taken prisoner, our forces are demoralized. Normally any one of mine could take five times his number of stone troggs. But now.... I want you to head out into the field surrounding the town. Plant Stonefather Oremantle's banner near my defenders.
