It's a shame that Blizzard never thought to make these vital defenders that we summon actually assist you when you are attacked, or aggro anything around themsleves. Luckily, I discovered (much by accident) that they can be targeted and attacked, and derived much satisfaction out of killing every damned one I summoned. Take THAT, Rina Moonspring!

Description

Though you've done a great deal of good work in defense of our new home here, I still feel that the Living Grove needs more protection. Please, take this small tree bough that I have imbued with the force of nature. When used upon the seedlings that I have planted out in the grove, it will call down a storm to accelerate the growth of a treant defender. These treants are critical to the defense of the grove, especially if you choose not to make Sylvanaar your home for long.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Marauding WolvesBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    The filthy races of the Horde have taken over a settlement to the east. They've brought with them a large pack of the dire wolves that they prefer to use as mounts and sentries. These sentries have been marauding across the bridge that separates us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Dire SituationBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    With their wolf pack reduced, the Horde is looking for replacements. Unfortunately there's another source nearby. The Bloodmaul ogres in the ravine below to the east keep a strong pack as their own sentries.
