  • Enter Gjalerbron by going up the ramp that begins at 35.9, 18.1.

  • Continue up the ramp. There will be an exhaust vent to your left and cages to your right. Head up the first ramp on your right (34.7, 14.1).

  • Look to your left (north) and you will see a large cage in the center of that area. On the opposite side of that cage there is a ramp. Go up the ramp (36.3, 10.1) to the northeast of the large cage.

  • Head left and go up the ramp (36.9, 9.1) immediately behind the flaming lantern post.

  • You will see Wyrmcaller Vile casting an AoE spell. Kill to loot Wyrmcaller's Horn.

  • You can use the horn right where you stand to call down Glacion.

Go to 36.9 , 8.3

Go upstairs and clear every mob except Wyrmcaller Vile. Kill him last and use the horn. Eat and drink to full hp/mana. When the wyrm is at 10/15 yard from the ground use a couple of hots if you have some. And there we go, burst the wyrm like there's no tomorrow using every cooldown. The battlemaster trinket (+1750hp) and a healing potion can be useful for those classes who wear cloth.

The wyrm is a 71 elite and keep in mind that he's not snarable.

I soloed it as a Moonkin 71 with merci/venge resto gear with no problems ending at 60% hp. Should be harder for a cloth but doable with no troubles with a decent gear. Take a friend if you're wearing greens or when you have low hp jump down the platform (where you take no dmg for falling) and bandage while the wyrm chase you then finish him.

Description

You were right to bring this to me, {name}. You must venture to Gjalerbron and slay that wyrm and its master, Wyrmcaller Vile! Even now, as we speak here, the frost wyrm may be on its way. However, if I'm reading these plans correctly, blowing the wyrmcaller's horn on his platform, outside in the rear left area of Gjalerbron, will call Glacion back. When the creature lands, destroy it! And {name}, please bring me the horn. We wouldn't want it falling back into the wrong hands.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gjalerbron Attack PlansHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    These plans detail an imminent attack upon Westguard Keep. It would appear that the frost wyrm, Glacion, who circles overhead is to be used for the offensive. Surely Mage-Lieutenant Malister would be of some assistance in this matter. Deliver the plans to him at the keep to the south.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The CleansingHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Of late I've had nightmares concerning a worg named Ulfang. He has called out for help, and you must go to him. However, you do not have the means to speak with him, or walk amongst the other worgs. I know a way. But first, you must cleanse your inner turmoil through meditation.
