Description

Before we get too crazy what with the dragon-killin', let me tell you a little bit about how I fight.

"The Swift" is what they call me, and here's why: I'll dash straight into your enemies - helmet first, mind you - and stun 'em for a few seconds. I also keep a few potions with me for tight spots.

Why don't we practice fightin' together? Head out into the field, and try out my abilities.

If you don't want to bother with those guys' abilities, then spamming a macro

/cast Eric's Charge
/cast Eric's Pocket Potion
/cast Baelog's Valhalla Shot
/cast Baelog's Warcry
/cast Olaf's Shield Wall
/cast Olaf's Mighty Shout


doesn't hurt at all.

After completing this quest along with Baelog, the Glass Cannon and Olaf, the Big Fella', several tips.


  • At the time of writing this, several bar modification add-ons like Bartender etc aren't compatible with these vikings' abilities. So, before you accept these quests, turn your action bar related addons off.

  • Once you accept the quest(s), the NPCs' abilities will appear to the right of your screen.

  • You can do all three quests at the same time.

  • If you accept the three quests, all the abilities will appear on the single action bar to the right.

  • When you're ready to actually complete the quest, you have to tag the mob with some spell before the NPCs' abilities become active for use. Simply aggro-ing the mob via proximity won't do.

  • Once the abilities light up, you can use all six on a single mob if you want to complete the three quests.

Hope this helps.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Swift, the Fierce, and the StoutBadlands · Level 15-30

    In my haste to escape from Lethlor Ravine, I forgot to tie up one loose end: Nyxondra. She's free, and she's sounded the alarm among the black dragonflight. Half the flight is here in the western Badlands, combing for this egg. I'll take care of hiding the egg.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Baelog, the Glass CannonBadlands · Level 15-30

    Before I start droppin' arrows on those dragons, I'd better introduce myself. I'm Baelog, the muscle of this group. My sword bites like a crocolisk, and my arrows sing like banshees. I tend to wear down quickly, however, and can't take as much punishment as either of my two brothers.
