Ridgespine Menace is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-30 in Blade's Edge Mountains. It is step 46 of 95 in the Blade's Edge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Blade's Edge Mountains at 60.4, 68.7. It rewards 2 reward items, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We hired on to help Toshley when he decided to move to Outland, and we've been on the move ever since.

Now it looks like we've finally put down some roots. All of the crazy scientists have their projects going, and us Roughriders are here to protect them.

What we need right now is for you to go north into Razor Ridge, or east to the Scalewing Shelf, and keep them clear by killing the stalkers. They're stealthy spiders that live amongst the rock outcroppings, and jump unsuspecting passersby.

  • Gauging the Resonant FrequencyBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    Take these scanners to the Singing Ridge. By dropping them in a pattern on the ground, you will create overlapping fields that will read the amplitude of the crystals. Stand amidst them in such a way that you're in five oscillation fields and I'll have the information that I need!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • More than a Pound of FleshBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    <name>, I've got something else for you to do. One of the eggheads wants to study the fiendling flesh beasts that can be found at Razaan's Landing, north of the Razor Ridge. More to the point, they want to study the flesh of the flesh beasts that are there.
