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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
