Cold Hearted

Cold Hearted is a quest for level 25-30 in The Storm Peaks. It is step 85 of 113 in The Storm Peaks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Storm Peaks at 53.1, 65.7. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

To be slain honorably on the field of battle brings us all glory. To be frozen in a block of ice and endlessly taunted does not....

You are to fly to the frost giant city of Dun Niffelem, just east of the Valley of Ancient Winters, and liberate our captive proto-drakes. With them, you will be able to free our sisters from their frozen bonds and carry them safely home.

Beware the giants' clubs, sister, lest you find yourself numbered among the captives.

This quest will probably be very confusing to a lot of people. What you need to do is fly on your mount to Dun Niffelem at 64,59. Once inside, look around for drakes attached to chains and fly straight up to one. Your cursor should then allow you to click and mount one. From there, fly around looking for Brunnhildar Prisoners encased in ice. You need to zap them once with the frostbolt and then they should automatically be picked up by the drake. One prisoner will appear mounted behind your character and the other 2 will be in the drakes claws.

Once you have picked up 3 prisoners, fly back to Brunnhildar Village and eventually the game will take over flight and deliver the prisoners and the drake. Repeat this 3 times and the quest will complete.

(Replying to him to note this.) Nobody has mentioned that the ground speed of the drake is actually faster than the flight speed. On a side note, if you exit the town(To fly homeward) while on the ground, it keeps the speed, and you are now flying back twice as fast.

As of patch 10.2.5 I believe there is a bug when you try to mount the drake while you are dragon riding your own personal dragon riding mount, about 3/4 way back to the encampment they will become hostile to you. I got credit for the people being saved but you will not get credit for the drake being freed, ensure when you get on them, you are NOT on a dragon riding mount and just a regular flying mount. :)

EDIT: As of 11.0 you can just switch your flying style to normal and it works just as well.
