All these play through videos, ugh. If you're having trouble looking for them they're actually not up the mountain path where the sabers are but on the other side of the river. Start looking around 42.2, 52.8 and go up the mountain on that side of the river to find them.

Description

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. They should prove to be a good challenge, even for someone as experienced as you.

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.

  • Lion Stalkin'Highmountain · Level 10-45

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scout It OutHighmountain · Level 10-45

    You've proven that a gnome can shoot a rifle, and that's no easy feat, but a true test of Addie's skill will be to see if she can track down an elusive beast. Rumor has it that a ravenous roc circles the basin, cursed by harpy magic, but no one's seen the beast up close.
