TheWoWDBThis quest is even worse than its counterpart. This one drops you like a stone in the middle of a hedge maze, which isn't where the WQ takes place, just right next to it, and doesn't allow access to the WQ area without either fighting PvP elites, or dying and respawning on the other side.

The harpoons are along the fence (rarely). The cannons can be aimed at Alliance Gryphon rider the Academy Squallrunner. Aim the cannon before using the cannon.
The Admiral in the circular section was very difficult to solo at my gear level (317).
terrible stupidly designed and not worth my time
