This may be an odd question but, anyone had the chance to attack Horde players with the Glaive Thrower? Does it work? 13k damage would be a spiffy way to deter higher-level gankers.

I may avoid killing the last flier just to wait and see.

After completing this quest Astranaar will be just like it used to be, no raiders present and not on fire.

Thank goodness for that! I wasn't looking forward to questing with Raene while worrying about the inn's roof caving in due to flames.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Astranaar's Burning!Ashenvale · Level 7-30

    <class>, Astranaar's burning! Quickly, take this bucket of water and put out the fires before there's nothing left!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Elune's TearAshenvale · Level 7-30

    I'd hoped Orendil's cure would save Relara, but I fear it only slowed the disease running through her. We must find more powerful medicine! Thankfully, Orendil spoke to me of further remedies should his first one fail.
