Making Stumps

Making Stumps is a Horde-only quest for level 7-30 in Ashenvale. It is step 13 of 42 in the Ashenvale, Horde storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ashenvale at 82.3, 53.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As you've been told by now, we are to escort a diplomat from within the besieged lumber camp to safety.

As it stands, that's simply impossible. The elves have a thousand arrows trained on the camp's exits.

First we must create a diversion - something that will take their eyes off of the camp for a time.

My idea is simple. Take this axe and cut down the trees they've been nurturing in the region.

When you're through, light the brazier here to speak with me again.

These Ashenvale Oaks are quite large trees. They are spread around the area of the Warsong Lumber Camp but I found enough for the quest between 85,56 to 85,60. See the screenshot to see what they look like.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mission ImprobableAshenvale · Level 7-30

    I have a special mission that requires a well equipped, competent <class>. As I have no one else to spare, I suppose I'll have to settle for you... The enemy has assaulted Warsong Lumber Camp and cut it off from the rest of our forces.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wet WorkAshenvale · Level 7-30

    Listen carefully, <class>. There are three leaders in this region who are commanding the elves, keeping their focus directed on the lumber camp. Slaying them will certainly cause panic and disarray, hopefully enough for us to successfully complete our mission.
