Quest Log

The Troll Menace

The Troll Menace is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-10 in Coldridge Valley. It is step 10 of 17 in the Coldridge Valley storyline. It rewards 5 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 1,400 experience and money.

Description

The trolls're acting up. More than usual, I'd say. We've seen them put together war parties before, but this time it's... different.

What matters most, however, is the continued protection of Anvilmar. I've no intention to let these trolls flank Anvilmar while its attention is turned towards troggs. Go thin their ranks a bit. They need to know that we're still not without defenses.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Whitebeard Needs YeColdridge Valley · Level 1-10

    Ye've done us a great service here, but I'm afraid I've gotta send ye off elsewhere. Grelin Whitebeard, a good friend of mine, has put in word that he may need some reinforcements near the troll camps to the southwest. Follow the road westward, ye should find him soon enough. Be well, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Trolling for InformationColdridge Valley · Level 1-10

    I'm notoriously bad at reading troll facial expressions. That being said, these trolls don't look angry to me. They seem to be confused... maybe a little frightened. Something happened that we're not seeing here, <name>. I say we do some investigation before we just kill every troll in sight.

The storyline at a glance

Coldridge Valley has 17 steps, from Hold the Line! to Don't Forget About Us.
