Quest Log

Scourge First... Horde Later

Scourge First... Horde Later is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Western Plaguelands. It is step 1 of 63 in the Western Plaguelands storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Western Plaguelands at 40.8, 70.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Darkmaster Gandling of the Cult of the Damned leads the Scourge offensive here in Andorhal. My old counterpart, Koltira, leads the Forsaken forces. If we're to win Andorhal, we'll have to defeat both, but we will certainly fail if we take on both at once.

I know Koltira well enough to know that he will focus on the Scourge first. We will do the same.

Take out the weaker, desiccated Scourge to reduce their numbers. The Forsaken will have to wait to taste our wrath.

Any of the Scourge in the area will count for the quest. It doesn't matter if they are in combat with a faction NPC, when you target and hit them, you will get aggro and the kill will count. The faction NPCs do not hit them very hard at all so don't count on their help.

The big hulking things have a chain that will pull you to them if you try to attack from range. Just be aware. It will interrupt any spell casting.
