DO NOT COMPLETE THIS QUEST! This quest is the BEST way to raise your rep with your bodyguards (followers with bodyguard trait). Accept the quest and go to the upper flor at 52,31. There will be some adds 91 lvl with 8.1k HP and when you kill them they will respawn within 1 sec.

As a frost DK, it took me 17 minutes to raise a follower from "Bodyguard" to "Personal Wingman" which translates to 20k rep in 17 mins (i also had the trading post bonus which means 12 rep per kill instead of 10).

When you are done, abandon the quest, go to your garr pick up next follower go back there accept it and do it all over again.

Note that the second time i went there i they wouldnt respawn so abandoned the quest again, and accepted it after 1 min and it was working fine like before.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Will of the GenesaurGorgrond · Level 15-40

    I am pretty sure those dwarves took the artifact in that iron fort there. Are you going to go get it?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets of the BotaniGorgrond · Level 15-40

    The botani must have stuck that big ogron there to protect something fancy. And what was that stumpy looking creature that it killed? The botani are mean, but they have some fun toys. Maybe Kaz might know what it was. Can we go find Kaz now? I saw a compost heap up the south hill.
