Description

Now that we've got our raptors, our next move is to "encourage" them to attack the Grimtotems at Blackhoof Village to the northwest. I've got a leftover haunch of... well, it doesn't really matter what it is. It'll be your bait. Set it down on the ground in Blackhoof Village near the windmill in the center of the settlement. The raptors should take care of the rest, if their training took.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Raptor CaptorDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    The patch of swamp to the northeast is home to a particularly nasty breed of raptors. We've lost more than one unwary soldier to them, but I think we can turn them against our Grimtotem neighbors. Take this rope and use it to capture Bloodfen raptors or Bloodfen screechers that you've subdued.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Prisoners of the GrimtotemsDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    We're doing all we can to keep the Grimtotem raiders at bay, but they keep launching assaults on the tower. Even worse, they've managed to discover and capture the patrols the captain sends out to gather information and safeguard the road.
