Quest Log

The Windrunner Fleet

The Windrunner Fleet is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 41 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 84.7, 36.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 1,050 experience.

Description

We have the Windrunner, the Queen's Reprisal and the Oblivion stationed just east of the Derelict Strand. Send orders to the fleet's commander, Captain Harker, that they're to destroy the Alliance's cannons.

Speak to our bat handler, Camille, and ask for passage to the fleet's location. Be quick, <name>, every minute we spend fighting the Alliance is a minute we could've spent fighting Arthas.

Tried doing this quest today and everytime I land on the boat (whether I take the bat handler or just fly there) the NPCs disappear and I can't turn in the quest. It's like I'm phased or something. i've tried abandoning the quest several times, logging out and even trying on other servers and still no luck.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reports from the FieldHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Our mission in Northrend is to destroy Arthas. The Alliance are but an obstacle that we'll crush wherever we find them. We've managed to destroy their easternmost fleet; but the survivors have barricaded themselves on the Derelict Strand, south of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ambushed!Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    This should have been a walk in the park. Their forces are hungry, injured and ill equipped. Yet somehow, we walked right into their trap. We approached these reefs from the south to gain cover and were immediately boarded by the Alliance dogs.
