A World of Warcraft quest in Echo Isles. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Nowhere as cute as the rescuing baby murlocs in the Borean Tundra quests, but still fun nonetheless. Whistle blowing!
And you get cute emotes from the baby dinos even if you're not on the quest.
Since there are no [class=2] or [class=6] versions of the quest chain that begins with The Rise of the Darkspear, none of the Echo Isles quests unlock for these two classes.
