Description

Bladespire has been a plague on my people for many years.

That ends today!

Now to explain it to the ogres in a way they will understand.

If you still wish to help us, place our banner in the corpses of our adversaries.

Their courage will falter as they behold a field of Frostwolf trophies!

This is our way. I will meet with you ahead when you have completed this deed.

A fwe facts about the quest:


  • You MUST be the first to hit the ogre. The killing blow doesnt matter

  • You dont need to focus the corpse just click the item being near, if it doesnt work, you probably didnt land the first blow.

  • You can do this while on raid or group

  • Think of this somewhat like the rules of killing frogs on Timeless Island for farming lesser charms


Have fun and enjoy the well-made Blizzard quests! :-)

This quest is literaly uncompletable. I tag the mob, kill it, I'm even able to loot it yet when I try to use the banner it either gives me "too far away" or "you need a valid target" while targeting the corpse AND standing in it.
