For anyone with a ranged attack -- This is how I solo'ed Feorias: There is a small building with the entrance at 48.6, 78.3. What I did was pull the two guards outside the entrance to this building inside. Killed them. Recovered and then tagged Feorias and re-entered the building. I got one extra guard but was able to handle both. Be careful there are at least two roving patrols with vision that walk past the building.

Description

There he is! The man that isn't there! He's... he's... Wait... no, I'm sorry. My thoughts, they're just all over place lately. Ever since my exile, things have been a bit fuzzier than normal. If you wish to learn from me before I completely lose my mind, then do me a favor, and kill those traitors who sided with the demons and exiled me.

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.

  • Demon FleshLevel 45

    Something we haven't really explored yet, <name>, are the creatures of Suramar. Specifically, the demons. Now I certainly don't praise what they are, but you can't ignore the fact that some of their creatures have especially tough hides.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hounds AboundLevel 45

    I'll invite him to tea. That'll show him! He'll see the leather doll and say, "When did SHE get here?!" I mean... sorry, <name>. My mind goes to strange places. You want to know about the demons, the ones with durable hides? Before I was exiled I saw such beasts roaming our cities.
