Private Weeks gives out one of the easiest chain quests here. The mobs can be pulled one by one and are easy to kill. However it would help to be in a party to make killing Grieve easier.

Grieve is in the main hut at 40,39. You only have to worry about the Advisor when attacking Grieve, the summoner in the room won't aggro

*Caution to rogues and druids... If you stealth past the guards to kill Grieve they will run in once he has been slain and begin to attack. So either have a vanish up, or get ready to dash outta there

If you have trouble getting into the Grieve's room like I did, you can die in the room and resurrect in the corner in front of the Grieve without aggroing him. The Hunter patrol does patrol in the Grieve's room so be careful.

Or have a flying mount.
Then you just fly in through the hole in the roof, land against the wall midway between Grieve and the Summoner. Then kill the summuner, rest, kill Grieve, then fly out through the hole.

Picking off the others took more time.

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.

  • Who Are They?Terokkar Forest · Level 15-30

    I don't know who they are, but I know they're hostile! I'm going to give you a disguise, and I want you to go in there and speak with three of them that I've observed as being 'chatty'. Talk with the initiate, the laborer, and the advisor.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Olemba Seed OilTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

    The oily seeds from the forest's olemba trees could prove very valuable. I'd like to gather a larger quantity of them, press them for their oil, and then see what I can do with it. Just think, there's a whole forest full of trees out there, producing a lot of seeds that go to waste.
