Doing this quest, I couldn't help but imagine how this would have looked in real life. Wounded half-dead rabbits, crippled by the blast, are running for their lives, only to be caught and finished off by a bunch of hungry wolves. Reminded me of how some people feed their pet predators with living mice in a bathtub. Yeah I know it's just a game and all, but such stuff makes me sick. Ruined my mood quite a bit.
And it's not just that. Despite maining a hunter, this whole Nesingwary business of killing for sport leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I'm just too soft for this.

What to do

StorylineIcepine Point, step 4 of 4
RewardsCritter Hand Cannon, 20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

It's time to attack the pack! I've preloaded the hand cannon. All you have to do is point and shoot. The critters should survive the blast and hit the ground running. The howlers will be distracted by the critters, allowing you to focus on killing the packleaders. Happy hunting!

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.

  • A True HunterHighmountain · Level 10-45

    I don't know why Hemet hunts with Razik. His contraptions are unreliable at best! A true hunter doesn't need gadgets to hunt. They rely on instinct, skill, and agility. So tell me, <name>, do you have the skills of a true hunter? Better yet, prove it.
