Trolling for Information

Trolling for Information is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-10 in Coldridge Valley. It is step 11 of 17 in the Coldridge Valley storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,400 experience and money.

Description

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.

There are three troll camps in the area: one to the southeast, one to the southwest, and one due west. Each camp has a soothsayer... see if you can get close enough to listen to what they're saying.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Troll MenaceColdridge Valley · Level 1-10

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Refugee's QuandaryColdridge Valley · Level 1-10

    I was on my way to join my fellow gnomes at Gnomeregan, but then it all went so horribly wrong! I left Anvilmar, bags packed and wading through waist-deep snow. Then we had this ridiculous earthquake, and I got all turned around. I ended up here, and what's worse: the trolls stole all my stuff!
