Hunting the Hunters

Hunting the Hunters is an Alliance-only quest for level 7-30 in Redridge Mountains. It is step 20 of 31 in the Redridge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Redridge Mountains at 52.5, 55.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Just south of here on the Lakeridge Highway are a group of Blackrock orcs that stalk the forests under cover of darkness and ambush the uninitiated. That group is the first line of defense for the Blackrock army. They're scouts, reporting everything they see back to their central command. They need to be taken OUT or our mission here could be compromised.

Head south and kill every Blackrock hunter that you see.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bravo Company Field Kit: ChloroformRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    The first part of this mission is all covert ops, <name>. To that end, we need to be able to incapacitate the enemy without making any sounds. To do that we're going to need chloroform. The muckdwellers at the bottom of Lake Everstill hold chloroform in their glands.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Point of Contact: BrubakerRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    Before we do a damned thing we need to get a field kit together. You'll help with that, <name>. There's also a matter of scouting. Thankfully for that we got some help from Stormwind. An old war buddy of mine, Brubaker, was sent here by SI:7 to scout around for us.
