RewardsExpeditionary Cloth Boots, Expeditionary Plate Warboots, Expeditionary Plate Warboots, 5s 65c, 750 XP

Description

Quilboar are savage and violent. I did not think they knew how to use shadow magic. Obviously, we cannot allow them to continue their rituals. And certainly not on members of the Horde. Slay the quilboar in the den. They must learn the fatal error of their ways.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Down with the QuilboarExile's Reach · Level 1-5

    I have discovered that the quilboar are performing a shadow ritual on a survivor from the missing expedition. The ritual is being performed by the tribe's leader, Geolord Grek'og. Slay Grek'og and save the survivor. Show this brute that the Horde is not to be trifled with.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Choppy Booster Mk. 5Exile's Reach · Level 1-5

    You're in luck, 'cause I'm the ONE goblin who can help you find the rest of the expedition! Feast your eyes on this fancy device here. Stole it off a gnome, improved on it, and made it my own! I call it the Choppy Booster Mk. 5. Use it to find Shuja and the others.
