Quest Log

Local Support

Local Support is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 1 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 31.8, 60.2. It rewards 5 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

We've reached a deadlock with the Horde in Grizzly Hills. Our forces are just about evenly matched and all signs so far have pointed to a stalemate.

Until this morning, that is. The local trappers have requested our help. Apparently the Horde took something that belongs to them... a relic of some sort.

We get this back for them and they'll give us the edge we need. Head to the Evergreen Trading Post, west of Conquest Hold and look for a cedar chest.

This is definitly not true. I just finished Hour of the Worg and I still have this quest in my quest log, unfinished. The chain to get to Hour of the Worg starts with the quest Descent into Darkness which is triggered by Mikhail's Journal. The journal drops from any humanoid in and surrounding Forest's Edge Post just southeast of Amberpine Lodge.

Hope this clears things up.

Edit: I see now that the comment above mine is written during beta when that statement might just have been true. However, that is not the case anymore.
