Completely unique and quite possibly an interesting amount of oversight, if you do this quest with war mode on and there are players of the opposing faction around you can use your whelpling to kill them. The whelping does an insane amount of damage shooting for roughly 150k-300k scaling with player level. With a half second cd you can pretty much obliterate anyone around who isn't paying attention.

Description

The dragons were gone from the Isles for quite some time, {name}. To tell the truth... some of our skills have atrophied as they were passed down from generation to generation. These whelps should be easy to teach, yet we are having some trouble wrangling them. Say. I have seen that even Majordomo Selistra trusts you with the most crucial tasks. Would you lend us your aid and help one of our young?

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.
