StorylineWetlands, step 21 of 40

Description

We've been getting more and more reports of raptor attacks in the area. I'm seeing to it that this place is safe enough for more settlement to start occuring, so I've put a bounty on the buggers. A lot have been cleared out already, but the Highland raptors to the north have been growing in number. That won't be true for long, now will it? Clear out a good deal of Highland raptors, and I'll have a nice reward for you.

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.

  • The Eye of PalethWetlands · Level 10-30

    Opening the chest reveals a blackened orb, pulsing with an eerie light. This must be the foul Eye of Paleth that damned these sailors' souls. Such corruption should be purged. Perhaps a priest in Menethil Harbor could help you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • I'll Call Him BiteyWetlands · Level 10-30

    Have you heard some raptors are intelligent enough to be domesticated? It's true! I've seen hunters tame them. It gets quite lonely out here, you know, even with Wenna to keep me company... a pet's just what I need to brighten my spirits. A little baby raptor would be the best!
