Thought i'd add one too cause only Crazytroll added one..So when you take the quest from the Tauren you take the right elivator down and go east of it keep going straight and you'll find the harpies kill 10 of each color there are white and blue the white ones give you azure the blue give you bronze, you'll get them all after you kill 10-15 of em well thats what i did when i was lvl 9 well Good Luck and happy Killing =P

Plainstrider Handguards, Hewn Kodo Gloves, Leggings of Brown Grass, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
{name}, my brother soon stands before Chief Bloodhoof, and it is my honor to make his headdress for him. I want to ask a favor of you while I finish tanning these leather straps. There is not time for me to find enough feathers, and I was wondering, would you gather more for me? You can find feathers of the correct size from the harpies residing far to the north and northwest of Thunder Bluff. I need only 6 azure and 6 bronze feathers to complete the design.
