Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enhanced Combat Tactics
Won'sa said the quilboar have kidnapped the missing expedition... including my daughter. The quilboar will kill you if you're not prepared. They're much smarter and deadlier than murlocs. I won't see you die by their hands. We're going to spar one last time.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Taming the Wilds
A hunter like yourself needs a good pet by your side. Did you not bring one with you? Hmm. I suppose I shall have to compensate for your lack of training. Listen closely and learn quickly. I will teach you how to tame a beast and make it your pet. You will need one if you are to fight the quilboar.
