Be careful, for some reason these neutral Outcast Sprites will sometimes attack you after you take down a Stonebound Destroyer.

I'm not sure if it is the reason or not, but it seems to have only happened to me when I had to work to steal aggro from them. If my first attack on a Destroyer caused them to attack me immeadiately, the Sprites left me alone. If I had to attack a few times, then they did attack me. Who knows, maybe they got mad because I stole their kill. Or it could be completely random.

Another expansion, another badly written quest text. As of 5.0.5 the quest objectives are:

Slay 10 Stonebound Destroyer the Woods of the Lost and discover their source.

I'm presuming this should be 10 Stonebound Destroyers IN the Woods of the Lost.

    Aw'right, so you need jade, do ya? I'd say we owe you at least that - we got plenty in the quarry, and thanks to yer help we should be back on schedule in no time. I should probably get back to the wife, so let's you and me take this cart o' the good stuff straight to her.

  • Break the CycleThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35
