The First Step (Level 1-10)

The First Step is a quest for level 1-10 in Camp Narache. It is step 1 of 12 in the Red Cloud Mesa storyline, the opening step. It rewards 700 experience and money.

Description

What you see here is the work of the quilboar, young one. Year after year they have encroached on our village. The great cataclysm finally drove them from their dens to spread like locusts across the land, and now you see the result; my own mother, dead from their savagery.

Today, you are of age. Today, you will take up your weapon and fight for the tribe, and avenge the Greatmother. Follow the path to the east, and find my son, Grull. He will lead you in our strike against the quilboar.

I am now seeing this as an Available Quest on the map in 10.1.5 as a lvl 70 Alliance Worgan Rogue but it cannot actually be picked up. I'm not sure when this appeared but I would guess within the last two minor patches. I've also been exalting a few Classic reps + doing return to Naxxramas stuff so it may be tied to those, but that's unlikely since it hasn't been noted up to this point. I have already tried disabling all addons but I have not tested on another toon to find the exact conditions for when it appears.

EDIT: Still present in 10.2.5

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.
