Description

Damn harpies. We've beat that bunch into submission more times than I can remember... and they stay quiet for a time after each bout. This time, I'd thought that maybe it sunk in. Apparently not. Their memory may be a bit short, but if their numbers are thinned enough, they'll keep to themselves. Head into the valleys in the north and east and clear out a fair chunk of them for me, will ya?

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Loyal CompanionsThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Fresh blood! Good to meet ya! I've got some work if you've got some time. Off to the east are the Foot Steppes... pretty hard land, but there's quite a group of rhino that graze there.

After this quest

  • Baby StealersThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    A few weeks ago, if you looked up, you'd see dozens of those beautiful eagles soaring the skies. Now, only a few if any. They've taken to staying with their nests nearly all the time now because the harpies have been stealing their eggs. The harpies have grown a taste for eagle flesh, it seems...
