Posting this here because it applies to the entire quest chain, and I'm not sure if it's a problem from the server I'm on or just in general.

If you are a feral cat druid, or rogue, "Feralas Sentinel" does not hold stealth as she should. She turns stealth while in combat, and as soon as you are out, she hops out. Probably just a programming issue, but it makes the whole idea of playing a rogue character (both options) a bit harder since you really have to take on the mobs as they come.

That said, it's an amazing questline that will get you a level and a half and is worth the effort.

This quest hasn't gone well with the scaling from 8.0, it is a little overtuned. The mob kills your Sentinel within moments and then demolishes you. I got close to killing her but it's pretty difficult. Bring a healing potion.

very worthwhile quest chain, should get you a level, and plenty of gold, especially if you don't need any of the quest gear, all of the objectives are in the same general area and you get a helper, its like a 2 man dungeon.

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.

  • Darkcloud GrimtotemThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    There is no alternative: if you intend to win a battle, you must spill the enemy's blood. In this case, unfortunately, a lot of it. You know what we have to do.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rattle of BonesThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    A tauren rattle lays here, exuding supernatural power. Its keepers slain, the artifact is undefended. Perhaps the sentinel will have some insight into its significance?
