Protect the Nests

Protect the Nests is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-60 in Tiragarde Sound. It is step 7 of 14 in the A Mountain of Ice storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tiragarde Sound at 47.9, 16.4. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

Now that Tagart is done with your hazing... I mean... trials, you can start helping us with some of the work around here.

Some of the nearby gryphon nests have been overrun with saurolisk. I fear that the gryphons will make new roosts elsewhere if we don't clear them out.

Head up the road towards the waterfall and take out those saurolisks. Report to Shawn when you're done. He's posted as a lookout there.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Warm and CozyTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    Heya! Isn't this place a dream? I couldn't be more relaxed. Well, I could be if these annoying cloud jerks would leave me alone. Why don't you go punch some in their cloud faces. Oh, and bring back their essences, they help keep my tub warm.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Offering of EggsTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    Our work isn't only to capture and tame gryphons, it's also to preserve them. Rescue any eggs remaining in nearby abandoned nests. Set them in one of the new nests we've built for the displaced gryphons. I am sure one of the gryphon females will adopt them.

The storyline at a glance
