ROFL too bad we can't rate screenshots, the one from this quest is priceless; go fetch dem bones! XD
Tip for priests: The buff Ointment gives is DISPELLABLE.
You can do all the 5 charges on same wolf, just dispel the buff they get and re-apply the ointment. :)

With the magical dust you recovered, I have fashioned a magic ointment that will aid in our own defenses. Our dire wolves are the perfect combination of mount, sentry and friend, but the Alliance scum have been poaching them in the Jagged Ridge. {name}, I want you to take this ointment and apply it to our dire wolf friends. The Alliance will get a rude surprise the next time that they send one of their hunting parties. Be aware though that some of the wolves may not like this, and will turn on you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dust from the Drakes
The Alliance has recently moved in to the west, using their elven magics to grow a town and grove in a short matter of time. We must keep their defenses weak so that they do not also grow a spine. I have a plan that will do that and more.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Bladespire Threat
There is a threat to Thunderlord Stronghold worse than the Alliance at Sylvanaar. I speak of the ogres of these mountains. Just to the west, down in the ravine, lies the Bladespire clan. While they aren't the only ogres, they are the closest and they're the ones that we defeated to take this place.
