Highmountain Hunters

Highmountain Hunters is a quest for level 45. It is step 2 of 20 in the Watchers in the Wild II storyline. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

I've just received word from our scouts that they've identified some potential recruits.

It seems as though the famed Hemet Nesingwary has set up camp not too far from our lodge.

While he isn't traditionally the type of hunter we'd invite into our ranks, his experience hunting large game could come in handy.

Head on over to his retreat and see if he's willing to aid our cause.

If you have not done this quest chain previously and only want to complete the quests required for the 2 Champions, you only need to do those offered by Hemet Nessingwary and Addie Fizzlebog. (After doing Nessingwary's first quests, the 2 Hunting Party NPC's will offer quests but they are not necessary for the Champions.) Be sure to do Addie's training quest along with Nessingwary's kill quests as she will get credit for anything you kill and not just the animals marked. After completing his kill quests and Addie's quest, Nessingwary then offers Scout It Out. Once that is finished, each will have a quest to become a Champion.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unseen ProtectionLevel 10-45

    We will not let the city of Dalaran fall. If the Legion is planning an attack, the Unseen Path will be there to stop it. Our scouts' most recent reports list a few other areas that sound like they could really use our help, whether they realize it or not.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Recruiting More TroopsLevel 10-45

    Our champions acquired the talents of Recruiter Sampson, an extraordinary tracker. He has a way with animals, calling them to his side with the utmost ease. In fact, he's already beginning to fill the stables with animals that he has tracked and tamed. Speak to him now.
