Getting Ahead

Getting Ahead is a group quest for level 50 in Uldum, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

Morale's been down at the camp lately. Funny how getting chewed on by some bugs can spoil the mood of a place.

I've got an idea to perk the troops back up, though. We need a trophy!

See if you can get me the head of one of those big tanky-looking ones so we can put it on display to show these bugs that we mean business! Just try to make sure it's not too mangled, okay?

So after killing about 5-6 and asking chat (universally $%^&*ing about quest) I came here. After looking at comments I started counting. Another 13 before I got the "trophy". So 20ish to complete.

I can understand wanting some "Flavor" in quests. But since a "normal elite" quest is 5 or so Elites something like this should be on a logarithmic upscale after about 4 kills.

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.
