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.

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.
