If you do not get credit for the kill, it might be useful to re-mount the Talbuk in the area where [npc=87083] spawns. The first time I killed Great-Tusk I did not get credit, perhaps because I had used the [item=118352] right after receiving it, in the garrison.

To complete this quest, you MUST kill the great-tusk while riding the tabuk provided by the quest giver.

This is because the idea is to let the tabuk see you fighting an elephant, so it "gets used to the sights and sounds of combat."

Edit: if you want to get off the "mount" after the quest to go to take a flight, type "/leavevehicle."

Description

The first step in training your mount for war will be getting it used to the sights and sounds of combat. If it's not trained properly, it might get spooked and run. Take this little talbuk out to the plains of Shadowmoon Valley and take on the biggest beast you can find, together. That should raise its confidence!
