Confirming the Suspicion

Confirming the Suspicion is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Dustwallow Marsh. It is step 47 of 83 in the Dustwallow Marsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dustwallow Marsh at 46.6, 24.6. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The Grimtotems may be the most warlike of all the tauren clans, but they're by no means unorganized. If they're the ones who put the torch to the Shady Rest Inn, they'll have had orders from one of their clan elders.

There's a large Grimtotem settlement called Blackhoof Village to the northwest. They've been using it as a base to attack the tower, but I'll bet that you'll find the orders you're looking for there. Check the village's elders for traces of the orders you seek.

Note that you won't get this quest available until you've followed up the leads from the Shady Rest Inn. I assumed that it would be a followup to the raptor-wrangling quest that you get from the same tower and ended up destroying my battle plans before I actually had "Confirming the Suspicion" as a quest.

So, I lost track of this half way through and had to track this place down again. The Grimtotem Tribe is located in the very northern part of Dustwallow Marsh. If you go to the North Tower, there is a path leading you to the Grimtotem's camp, located just north. When I got there, I killed about nine of the breakers and one shifter before killing two elders. Both elders dropped the battle plans. Then while reading the quest objective, I see where it tells me to kill the elders... smh, if only I would read the objective first.
Anyway, hope the location helps you!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Grim ConnectionDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I've spoken with Inspector Tarem regarding the evidence you gathered from the ruins of the Shady Rest Inn. He seems certain that the hoofprints and the shield you found there point to the Grimtotem clan of tauren.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arms of the GrimtotemsDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    If the equipment you found at the ruins of the inn belonged to a Grimtotem attack party, there's likely to be more just like it within their camp to the northwest.
