This one seems to have a very precise selection of climbing rocks to keep climbing higher. If there are other players doing the same one there are not enough rocks to choose to keep going. Be prepared to spend an inordinate amount of time... Unless someone has the secret to completing this one...?
Quest
The Wickless Candle
A World of Warcraft quest in The Ringing Deeps. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Hunters, before you leave the cave, you can tame Fluffy Sharpface who is in the nest in the cave.
After climbing the very tall candle, you appear outside, in an area with scattered Truthtelling Flowers. Initially, it appeared there was nothing I could do with any of these flowers (Noextra action button when near one, etc). After a minute or so searching around, I found a single flower that I could click on, completing the quest. It did not differ in appearance from any of the other flowers.
