So many YouTube videos on how to kill 10 lions >_>

I came here to see if this quest was part of a chain, or if it had prerequisites (because it's a prereq for another quest) :/

Edit: Apparently it's like previous Nesingwary quest chains. That's all I needed to know :)

Description

The hills are crawlin' with lions that stalk their prey from afar. These big cats will pounce at anything that catches their eye, including a {race}. While most would fall to such a formidable predator, anyone in my huntin' party would be able to best those beasts. Prove you've got what it takes by taking down a few of those stalkers.

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.

  • Bear Huntin'Highmountain · Level 10-45

    They say a single hair from the back of a bristlefur bear is sharp enough to cut a dwarf's beard. But if the fur doesn't kill ya, the maul will. Some lesser hunters have been a meal for those bears. Show me you're more than a snack and bring me back a few of those bristlefur pelts.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Moose Shootin'Highmountain · Level 10-45

    Highmountain is home to wildlife that can't be hunted anywhere else in the world. Tell me, <name>, have you ever laid eyes on a moose before? The roaming Elderhorn may look like gentle giants, but only a fool would underestimate their strength.
