Picking Bones (Horde)

Picking Bones is a Horde-only quest for level 10-60. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zuldazar at 59.1, 59.9. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

When I was sailing in, I noticed the remains of an unbelievably large beast on the nearby peninsula.

Whatever it was, it must have been strong, making it the perfect source for the bone elements of the drums.

Go to the peninsula, 'Xibala' I've heard it called, and fill a bag with the bones you find.

If you come across any of those damned Alliance, show them no mercy. They did this to themselves.

From Xibala, head west to the Iron Dwarf camp. The bones drop from the dwarves & there are also boxes of them scattered about. It's pretty easy to complete.

as of patch day, it seems to be currently bugged. The bones don't show up in loot windows (even the boxes labeled "bones"). No idea if the ally side one is bugged too.

That is every comment on this page.

We have everything we need to craft the drum, except the Earth Mother's blessing. The drum is but a vessel, like a cup. We need her to imbue the drum with power, filling the cup so that we may drink.
