Culling the Wendigos

Culling the Wendigos is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Dun Morogh. It is step 5 of 30 in the Dun Morogh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dun Morogh at 53.7, 52.2. It rewards 2 reputation rewards, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The wendigos in the Grizzled Den to the southwest of town have long been a thorn in our side. They're never quite strong enough to threaten Kharanos directly, yet they prey on travelers, mountaineer patrols, and supply convoys.

I'm going to be withdrawing my observers from the Grizzled Den because I need them on the troll front. Would you help my men finish culling the wendigo population? Without strength of numbers, they won't be able to attack us.

For those of you like me who can get lost with even the simplest of quests....

This quest, along with the other quests you'll get from the surrounding quest givers, take place in The Grizzled Den behind Kharanos. If you walk straight forward from the Flight Master towards the NPC Mountaineer Dolf, you can hop down the cliff and you'll be there. Or, you can exit Kharanos at 53.48, 48.92 and then go left. The slope down to the den area starts 51.45, 49.79.

These guys have a decently sized aggro range. While this isn't so much of a problem outside the cave, be expected to kill every single wendigo you run across. Failing to do so will often cause multiple mobs to aggro on you at once.

I would recommend setting your Hearthstone to Kharanos asap so that you can just escape the cave easily. Barring that, kill 'em all.

Before this quest

  • Pilfered SuppliesDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    With the Frostmanes making trouble to our east, the wendigos have sensed our weakness and grown bolder in their raids. Only one of the four most recent supply wagons has made it here safely. The wendigos made off with the rest, stashing it in the Grizzled Den, a cave southwest of town.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Forced to Watch from AfarDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    The cataclysm drove the troggs to the surface in hordes, forcing the Frostmane trolls to flee for their lives. Unfortunately, they've decided to settle right on our doorstep and make trouble for us.
