The Bonestripper Buzzards can be found just to the South East of Honour Hold.

These guy have a little trick you might want to watch out for. They can smell death. When you kill one of them, another will attack you, then another, then another. It seems they smell the dead corpse and fly towards it, as they approch you aggro them.

Description

Screed likes to say his flying is as "smooth as butter." I think "butterfingered" is more like it! Take a look at the wreckage over there. He calls it a "rough" landing. Sure, we got shot at, but I'd be willing to cut him a little more slack if he didn't brag about his piloting skills so often! I think I'm going to make him a batch of wings to drive the point home. To the east, in the Valley of Bones, you'll find bonestripper buzzards. Their wings are plump, juicy, and perfect for my needs.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Helboar, the Other White MeatHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    Those eggs are superb, but what do you say we kick it up another notch? A side of bacon would round out the meal perfectly and I know just where to get it. This place is littered with helboars. Of course, there's no one here to inspect and tenderize the meat, but we're in luck!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Case of Emergency...Hellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    In the event of an emergency, it's always the pilot's job to keep a level head, especially when the only orders your co-pilot follows come from his stomach. The good news is that we won't need to wait days for replacement parts to be imported.
