Very simple quest, the Tigers surround the quest area. Kill 6 and you have completed the task. The Tiger cubs do not count.

Take care in that there are some areas where there will be three concealed tigers. Make sure you are at full health before all three pounce on you.

Make sure you are also doing the quest- "Stocking Stalks" as they will be all over the area where the tigers are.

Description

The forest has become far more dangerous ever since Shen-zin Su began shaking. The tigers are agitated and have begun attacking the refugees, and on occasion, me as well. If these injured and weak survivors are to make it to safety here at the hut, we need to help clear the forest for them.

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.

    My men are malnourished, injured, and exhausted, but they are Horde. Every one will fight to their dying breath. As our new ally, we will stand by you when the time comes, but we would stand stronger with weapons. I have my men out gathering bamboo stalks to fashion into spears.
