For quest completists, "Sweeping the Shelf" shows as incomplete for me in addons like Wholly/Grail/Loremaster/Quest Completist. My toon is Alliance, and it looks like this version of the quest is a Horde quest. Just an FYI, if this is driving you crazy seeing it on your "incomplete" list. You may have done it for your faction, and it still shows as incomplete.

IMPORTANT INFO:


  1. End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.

  2. Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.

  3. Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.

  4. Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.

Crush them, {name}, slay their creations and hurl their bodies from the mountainside!
