Description

Now that you have your trap, there's a problem we need to deal with.

A wild beast has been stalking our camp. It's already stolen some of our food. We have little enough as it is.

You and I will work together. Set your freezing trap and lure out whatever this creature is.

Once it is caught, I will determine if the beast can be tamed... or if it needs to be put down.

This quest is part of the means of getting your second active pet slot (and second pet) as a new hunter. The beast you encounter on this quest will be what you can tame in the next quest, and corresponds to your race's unique starting pet as seen on the character creation menu (for example, blood elves get a dragonhawk, pandaren get a turtle, and so on).

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Hunter's TrapExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    By now, most hunters would have been trained in the art of trapping. Allow me to get you up to speed. We'll start with a freezing trap. In order to make one, you'll have to forage materials from your surroundings. Meredy can provide you with a mote of ice.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An End to BeginningsExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    You've done fine work within Exile's Reach, recruit. You should continue on to the Dragon Isles. I'm afraid I must change my plans and go back to Stormwind. I need to find out how the ogres found such powerful shadow magic. I'm sure we'll meet again.
