Description

I have heard that the natives tell stories of a large dreadsaber they call Shango. I haven't seen any evidence of this Shango's existence, but my injuries have kept me from venturing outside the camp. If you fancy yourself something of a tracker, you might be able to find out the truth about Shango. Debaar said she saw some large tracks on her last outing. Go north from the camp toward Bittertide Lake, and search its southern shore for the prints.

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.

  • Dreadsaber Mastery: Becoming a PredatorSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    If you've hunted with Hemet before, you know that he's tested his skill against many large cats, but the dreadsabers here in Sholazar are different. They're able to bring down larger game than I've ever seen a cat hunt. To overcome and kill such a predator is the mark of a true hunter.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rhino Mastery: The ChaseSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Well, that's settled then. We'll seek out this native sage and have a word with him. He's not likely to volunteer his services, though. I'm told he keeps a small lean-to near the Bones of Nozronn, just across the river to the south.
