Description

Now that you have your trap, we can move onto the true problem at hand.

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).

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

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

    If you want to be called a true hunter, you'll need to learn the art of trapping. Fortunately, I happen to be an expert in it. First, you will need to gather supplies from the surrounding area so you can fashion a proper freezing trap. Herbert can supply you with a mote of ice.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Mage's KnowledgeExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    You've got some good spells for a novice mage. There are a few things holding you back, though. For instance, it's absolutely clear to me you don't know Polymorph. If you did, you would've been using it on the harpies that were attacking us! Let's fix that.
