is it me, or is this "lovely" traveling companion the epitome of loladin facerolling?
he opens combat with an aoe to just rip threat off the "tank" and keeps aoeing when theres 1 mob left, stands in void zones, uses seal of truth for aoe, and refuses to heal himself when he is at half health.

also, stop following me while i am in stealth you nubadin!

Quest dialog aside, this guy doesn't seem to know his lore. He says "When I was young, I used to sneak away and beat up on zombies for fun."

Problem is, Blood Elves are considered adults at 60 years old, and the Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas a little less than 8 years prior to Cataclysm, so... The timeline just doesn't really fit.

For those having trouble completing, try disabling all your addons. You actually don't have to talk to the quest NPC to complete the quest. With no addons enabled, just click the gigantic question mark on your quest tracker and it will complete itself.

Description

I remember when I was young, I would sneak off into the Ghostlands and just beat up zombies for hours on end. Nobody even PAID me. I just did it. Now, look in front of you. Those are some serious zombies. I was just about to start beating them up, too. Care to join me?

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.

  • Tarenar SunstrikeEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    As soon as we stopped, they made a bet about "who could kill the most undead in five minutes." It's been an hour, and I'm still waiting for them to come back. I saw Tarenar run off to the southeast. Unfortunately, I can't leave the caravan here by itself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Gift For FionaEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    My traveling companion, Fiona, runs a small vendor's shop out of her caravan. She and I, along with our friend Gidwin, are all on our way to Light's Hope Chapel. I'm sure you can join us, if you like... though Fiona might be a little mad at me.
