To the north of XR there is a farm, around there are bushes with a lot of Lions.

Around ratchet there are a lot of bushes with Lions too.

Finally to the left of crossroads if you follow on the path a bit you will notice Lions / Bushes in large numbers too.

Description

If you want to really demonstrate your bravery to me, let me send you after something that really bites. The savannah huntresses of the Barrens are as sly as they come. Tough, resourceful, quick... and deadly. They've been hassling our scouts recently around the outskirts of the town, especially to the northeast. Be wary as you hunt them, {name}, or you may find yourself no longer the predator, but instead the prey.

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.

  • The ZhevraNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    If you wish to serve my beloved horde, you'll have to prove your strength to me, pup. You can cut your teeth by hunting zhevra. They may not be the strongest of beasts in the Barrens, but stay clear of their kick or you'll regret it. Hunt the zhevra to the north and south, and collect their hooves.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • EcheyakeeNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    Whitemist, or 'Echeyakee' in the tauren tongue, is the king of the savannah cats. He hunts with such stealth, they say he's like a thin, white mist on the earth. He kills so fast his prey have no time for fear or pain. The tauren say he is both mercy and death.
