This is the questline for the [race=2] Heritage armor.
For this questline you must have an Orc at level 50+ who is exalted with Orgrimmar.
The first quest popped up after login and wants us to meet Eitrigg in Orgrimmar.


  2. A Summon to Orgrimmar - meet Eitrigg in the main house

  4. A People in Need of Healing - use the portal in front of Grommash Hold
    - follow [npc=199053] and talk to [npc=199136]
    - click the 4 totems around you. Wait the dialogue and talk to [npc=199136] to start the fights. Defeat the wolves.
    - Destroy the totems to weaken [npc=201615] and defeat him too.
    - Talk to [npc=199140] and click the extra button [spell=395792]

  6. The Kosh'harg - click the [npc=200266] in front of the house. Talk to [npc=199148]

  8. The Blessing of the Clan - enter the main house and choose a champion. Not sure if this make a difference, I took [npc=199173] and got The Long Knives after turn in
    - Tracking a Killer - find the clues
    - Cornering Gor'krosh - follow the paws/yellow dots to /way 59.168 63.40 the nest. Click it and kill [npc=199186]. Click the blood

    The Blessing of the Land - click the skeleton at /way 40.71 26.91
    - The Spirit of Thunder Ridge - click the seeds in the water around you (you don't get an item). Click the the skeleton again

    The Blessing of the Ancestors - talk to [npc=199383], next quest is An Important Heirloom.
    - Learn Cooking at [npc=201018] and pick up [item=202646] in the house nearby
    - Orcish Groceries - click the cookbook near you. Find or purchase all the cooking ingredients marked on the map. I found the [item=202026] at 51.32 43.89 on the ground a bit hard to see
    - A Worthy Offering - click extra button [spell=264632]. In case you can't find the receipes, change the filter to Classic or search for the receipes manually. Cook [item=202710], [item=202708], [item=202709] and [item=202032]. Place the feast at the marked area


  10. Honor and Glory - enjoy the foods on the tables to fill the bar. Talk to [npc=201505] and defeat him. You can pickup and throw [spell=400758], they are on the ground near the tables. Turn in (cinematic)

  12. Aka'magosh - turn in and get your [spell=399753] and also [item=204170]. I got three full transmogs (see below), so I assume it doesn't matter what champion we chose at the beginning

The questline took about 35 minutes at level 70 and ilvl 350.

Description

The blessing of the ancestors is meant to teach young orcs that the living owe everything to those that came before. We must honor the ancestors, seek their wisdom, and live up to their expectations. Your task is to craft an offering worthy of the honored dead, and worthy of being the centerpiece at the offering stone of the first Kosh'harg of Azeroth! You must put all of your energy into its construction, or it will not be enough. Cook Torka will guide you. The ancestors will be watching.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cornering Gor'kroshLevel 50-90

    If Gor'krosh is a truly a raptor, you should be able to track it down just like any other animal. See if you can find its trail. We know it's been around here recently. Corner it in its lair and end this once and for all! Make sure you return to Razor Hill straight away once you make the kill.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Important HeirloomLevel 50-90

    I can guide you in crafting your offering to the ancestors, but you will need two things: First, you need to know the basics! Arugi here can teach you how to cook if you don't already know. Second, I need my old cookbook.

The storyline at a glance

Orc Heritage Armor has 14 steps, from A People in Need of Healing to Aka'magosh.
