Un'Goro, Felwood and Linkin's Sword Quest

Started at level 51
Finished at level 53

If you have never been to Un'Goro before, getting there is easy. From the Gadgetzan in Tanaris, you want to head South-West as if you were heading to Thistleshrub Valley. Just near there you will see two large blue / black pylons on either side of a gulley, that gulley will lead you straight to Un'Goro!

While running around in the zone, keep your eye out to pick up:

• - Blood Petal Sprouts : Although the hand in will not give you XP, turning 15 of these into the Kodo at Marshal's Refuge will yield a goodies box.
  - Blue, Red, Yellow and Green Power Crystals : You need 7 of each to hand in for a quest, and then varying amounts after to receive buffs if you so choose.
  - Un'Goro Dirt Pile : You need to collect 20 Un'Goro soil for Ghede in Thunder Bluff

When you get to the base of the path leading down, look to your left for a Tauren that goes by the name of Torwa Pathfinder. He will give you quests, a couple of which you can do while you are close before you move on;

[53] The Fare of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Find the carcass of Lar'korwi's freshest kill
Rewards : XP!

For this you need to find a carcass, and it's actually quite close, but you do need to head into raptor territory so be alert. By level 50 you should have no problems taking these mobs solo as they are between level's 47 - 52, just watch you don't get too many of them. I have marked out on the map where you will find the carcass as it's rather hard to explain, just kill your way inland mostly. Once you find the carcass, right click to loot and head back to Torwa.

While you are out in the Marshlands, you might as well look for the wrecked boat, this will begin the Linkin's Sword quest series which is a nice chunk of XP (around 20k or so). The boat can be a little hard to find if you don't know where it is, so I have marked it out on a map for you. After you find the boat, right click to begin the quest line!

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Look around in the pond for a clue about who this wrecked raft may belong to.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have found the boat and got the quest, stick your head under the water to find the 'clue'. It's a loot-able bag that will give you and item to open. When you open the item you will receive a Large Compass, a Curled Map Parchment and a Lion-headed Key.

[53] The Scent of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Collect 2 Ravasaur Pheromone Glands
Rewards : XP!

After you hand in the carcass, the second step requires you to summon a Lar'korwi Mate, kill it and loot it's Pheromone Gland. To summon the mate, you need to locate the little piles of eggs in amongst the Ravasaur's. When you get close to and stand on the eggs, it will summon the Lar'kowri mate, kill and loot. You will need to do this twice, and once complete, head back to Torwa.

[52] Bone-Bladed Weapons
Objectives : Collect 8 White Ravasaur Claws
Rewards : Sellable Loot

While you are doing these above quests, you will end up killing the general Ravasaur's around the area, you might as well grab this quest from Orgrimmar. You need to see Jes'rimon, and he can be found in The Drag, and the very top of a building not far from the end closest to Thrall's Chamber. Locate the building that has a winding ramp up, goes up about three level's, it's on the right side if you are facing Thrall's Chamber.

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Examine the items inside the pack and bring them to their owner.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have collected and handed in the Pheromone Gland's and collected your claws, open up the pack that you got from "the clue" and head right up the top of the zone to Marshal's Refuge and find Linken. Nice chunk of XP when you hand in (5100).

[53] Crystals of Power
Objectives : Collect 7 Power Crystals of each color: red, blue, yellow, and green.
Rewards : XP!

When you get to Marshal's Refuge and gather all your quests, be sure to head into the back of the crystal cave there and see J.D. Collie. This little gnome is the one that requires 7 of each of the colored crystals, a nice little xp jump for just collecting things.

[54] Super Sticky
Objectives : Collect 12 samples of Super Sticky Tar
Rewards : XP!

[53] The Northern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Northern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] The Eastern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Eastern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[51] Roll the Bones
Objectives : Collect 8 Dinosaur Bones
Rewards : +10 Stamina, +9 Agility, +9 Intellect Cloth Boots or Leather Belt

[51] Shizzle's Flyer
Objectives : Collect 8 Webbed Diemetradon Scales and 8 Webbed Pterrordax Scales
Rewards : +3 Stamina, +12 Intellect, +3 Spirit Cloth Wrist or Leather Shoulders or a Shield.

You should have the sticky tar quest from your time in Tanaris, but if you don't it comes from Gadgetzan. In Un'Goro, heading out of Marshal's refuge, you should see all the tar pits and elementals there. The tar elementals range from level 50 through to 54 but if you stick to the ones further east you should find mostly the lower ones. They are easy to pick of solo

If you were heading out Marshal's refuge and looked left, you will see there will be a large boulder you can't run over. If you go around, on the other side if you start to look up to the top of the cliffs you will come across the Northern Pylon. You need to right click and inspect the pylon to complete, and up the top there should be some Pterrordax's.

These flying dino's will drop the Scales you need for the Flyer quest as well as giving you the kill count for 'Beware of the Pterrordax' however you won't complete that just yet as the other ones you need are level 55ish. Be aware that these Pterrordax have a three second fear, but if you are Undead you can use Will of the Forsaken to break it.

Any dinosaur in the zone will drop the Dinosaur Bones, however the Pterrordax are a little tighter with theirs . Out and around the Tar pits though you should see some Diemetradon's, and they will drop the bones a lot more often. These are also needed for their scales.

From the Northern Pylon I usually kill my way to the East one, taking any Diemetradon's I pass. Be sure to continually to look around you though as there are large elite dinosaurs that will think you are very tasty. You can't miss them, they are MASSIVE, you will be lucky to reach the top of their toe nail. They have a fairly small agro range too, so moving out of their way isn't too difficult.

Once you have visited both Pylons and collected all your tar, you might as well complete the scales and bones as it won't take too long. From running around the tar pits you should have all the Diemetradon's, the Pterrordax however can be a bit trickier. Along with the five or so around the Northern Pylon, there is another pocket of them further East, almost near the Pylon on that side.

You want an area called Ironstone Plateau, and here you will find eight or so more Pterrordax, only these are lower level and don't fear. They will 'swoop' you which will knock you over and stun for a second or two, but must less risk of adds.

[50] Williden's Journal
Objectives : Return the journal to Williden Marshal
Rewards : XP!

By now you will probably have had one... or 10 Mangled Journal's Drop. The journal can be right clicked to begin a quest, which is basically handing it into Williden Marshal at Marshal's Refuge.


Now that I had done the first few quests in Un'Goro, I decided that I would do a bit of running around for the Linkin's Sword Quest line. You will need to do some killing in Felwood, so at the same time you can knock off some other quests there at the same time. Before you head off you might want to stop past Tanaris and Thunder Bluff to hand in. When you hand in at Thunderbluff, he sure to head into the large tent there to pick up the next stage.

If you are coming to Felwood for the first time you will enter at the Southern end of the zone from Ashenvale. There is a Horde outpost at Bloodvenom Falls which is along the river there, you can grab a flight path there as well as some quests.

[48] Timbermaw Ally
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Warriors, 5 Pathfinders, and 5 Gardeners.
Rewards : XP!

[51] A Husband's Last Battle
Objectives : Kill Overlord Ror
Rewards : XP!

Timbermaw Ally comes from Grazle who will be standing along the path not far after you enter the zone from Ashenvale, but the one for Overlord Ror comes from Bloodvenom Post, so head up and grab that before coming back down.

The mobs you need for both quests are just in off the path at Deadwood Village. The Warriors, Gardeners and Pathfinders will be all over, and you will find Overlord Ror at the back in a large camp. If you are careful you can pull the smaller camps or two or three, as well as the wanderers. I side stepped the first large camp you come too and managed to pick off from the edges the ones at Ror's camp.

Overlord Ror is level 51 and goes down pretty easy, although he will fear and call for friends so be ready. Clearing the area around him will help lessen any adds from both effects. These are the same furbolgs that you will need to kill in order to raise your faction to pass through the caves to Winterspring. If you run back up to the path and hand in to Grazle, you can continue fighting here and collecting the feathers to hand in for further faction. You will need a minimum of 'unfriendly' to pass through to Winterspring.

[54] Well of Corruption
Objectives : Collect a sample of corrupted water from the Jadefire Satyrs' moonwell
Rewards : XP!

After you have finished raising your faction and are on your way back up to hand in, stop past the Ruins of Constellas to fill the vial at the corrupted moonwell there. Getting to the ruins can be a bit tricky, but basically you fight past some oozes and wolves, eventually you start seeing some fallen pillars and the like.

Enter very carefully as there are quite a few stealthed rogue's there just waiting to jump you. The mobs are low 50's and solo, they are easy to take, just be careful you don't pull too many adds or back into another stealthed mob. You need to fight your way to the back of the camp which is through a narrow section lined with mobs. At the other end of this pathway will be the moonwell and I advise clearing around to the right and leaving the named till later as he comes with two friends.

Once filled, head back to Bloodvenom post to hand and continue up to the very north part of the zone on our way to Winterspring. You will enter Furbolg tunnels there and the mobs should con an orange color to you. They won't attack, but be very careful if you use the right mouse button to manoeuvre, you don't want to accidentally attack.

Inside the tunnels you will come to a part where it goes straight ahead, or you can loop around and head right. To start with, take the right part and it will lead you into Moonglade, there is a flight path just off to the left of the path when you enter. If you don't care about the flight path, head straight ahead and it will lead you straight to Winterspring.


[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Take Linken's Sword to Donova Snowden in Winterspring.
Rewards : XP!

Now begins the first of your running, to Winterspring. Donova is located not far from the tunnels that connect Winterspring to Moonglade, as you enter Winterspring, look to your right for a small pond of water, Donova will be there. If you are near the tunnels you should see the little yellow dot on your mini map. Watch out for the wandering level 57 pack when running around here.

[52] The Videre Elixir
Objectives : Acquire a Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

Once have seen Donova, you need to head over to Feralas. When you land at Camp Mojache, start heading north. Just after you pass through the Twin Colossals, there will be a open area on your right, and if you look carefully, a little white tent on a rise. That is where you will find Gregan Brewspewer.

From Gregan, purchase some 'bait' and then continue North to the Ruins of Ravenwind. Closer to the main path than the harpies, you should see a white ruins with a Gnoll guarding the front, that is Miblon Snarltooth. Place the bait in front of Miblon to have him move, and thus dropping the wall behind him. Once that is done you can run in and loot. Head back to Gregan to get the Elixir, then back to Donova to hand in.

[52] Meet at the Grave
Objectives : Go to the graveyard outside Gadgetzan, and use the Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

From Winterspring head back to Tanaris and head to the Graveyard there (south of Gadgetzan). Drink the Elixir and don't get a fright, it is meant to kill you. Release your spirit but be very careful not to automatically click again to resurrect, you want to stay dead. As a ghost, head north to the zone wall and in the hills there you will find Gaeriyan. Speak with him then return to the graveyard and resurrect.

[52] A Grave Situation
Objectives : Resurrect, then look for the gravestone that Gaeriyan told you to find
Rewards : XP!

Once you have resurrected, there will be a large stone grave you can right click, do so.

[52] Linken's Sword
Objectives : Deliver Linken's Superior Sword to Linken in Un'Goro Crater
Rewards : XP!

Once you have clicked the grave, return to Linken and give him back his sword. The next step sends you to see J.D. Collie and she is the gnome at the very back of the cave at Marshal's Refuge.

[54] Linken's Memory
Objectives : Find Eridan Bluewind in southern Felwood
Rewards : XP!

J.D. Collie sends you back to Felwood and down to Emerald Sanctuary, the little outpost at the southern end of the zone. There you will find Eridan. Eridan will give you a quest to collect items from the North end of the zone, but let's do a couple other quests while we are here...

[51] Forces of Jaedenar
Objectives : Kill 4 Jaedenar Hounds, Guardsmen, 6 Adepts, and 6 Cultists
Rewards : XP!

After you have seen Eridan, head up to Jaedenar, there you will find the mobs you need. The Hounds are the Felhunter type mobs and go down fairly easily, the Guardians are the same being purely melee. Adepts and Cultists are both spell casters, so be careful when you pull to ensure they won't agro nearby mobs, you should be able to pull everything singularly.

Both when you enter, and when you get to the back of the camp, you will see entrance into two caves. Both caves are filled with the same mobs, however it can get a little more dangerous with multi-pulls so only use if the rest are already being killed.

[54] Corrupted Sabers
Objectives : Take Winna's kitten to the corrupted moon well, release it, then bring it back to Winna
Rewards : XP!

The Moonwell you need for this is at the Ruins of Costellas, the same moonwell you filled the vial at earlier. Again fight through to the back, and when you get there, right click the cat carrier to release the kitten. It will go for a little swim in the moonwell before following you obediently so you can return it to Winna.

When you get to Winna, you have to "release" the cat by right clicking it first, that will turn the question mark from silver to yellow for you. Seems a little backwards to do this after Jaedenar, but as I don't know if the kitty has a time limit, I do it in that order just to be safe.

[54] Silver Heart
Objectives : Collect 11 Silvery Claws and 1 Irontree Heart
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Strength of Corruption
Objectives : Kill 12 Angerclaw Grizzlies and 12 Felpaw Ravagers
Rewards : XP!

The Claws will drop from any of the wolves and bears through out the zone, however you can complete both quests together if you head up north and kill the Grizzly's. Heading North, stop in at Irontree Woods and kill a few trees to get the heart to drop. It didn't take me very long, 5 or 6 kills only, but keep your eye out for the larger wandering tree's, at level 56 they will take a nice chunk out of you.

Once you have your heart, continue north till you start seeing the Grizzly's and Ravagers... kill away. You should get all the claws drop before you finish the killing of both types of mobs, and once you are done with both, hand in.

[52] Collection of the Corrupted Water
Objectives : Fill the canteen at the Moonwell in the center of Jaedenar
Rewards : XP!

Before I headed out of Felwood to continue with the Linkin's Sword line, I headed back to Jaedenar quickly to do this step. You fill the vial at the moonwell out in the open area near the back. The next step sends out away from the zone anyway, so I decided to head onto Tanaris to find Aquementas!


[54] Aquementas
Objectives : Summon Aquementas.
Rewards : XP!

After you have collected the claws and heart, you are sent to Tanaris to summon Aquementas. You need to head into Lost Rigger Cove and head to the other side of the enclosed area. I ran around the base where they are building the ship and out again. If you agro any mobs, you can just run them off. Once you are on the other side, look inland a bit for a circle of stones.

Use the book to summon Aquementas. Now you don't actually need to kill or even touch Aquementas (except for the fact he will be wailing on you). As soon as he is summoned he makes the totem you need, so you can just run. You can not damage Aquementas with any magical attacks, he can only be melee'd. Personally, I ran...

[54] Linken's Adventure
Objectives : Take the Silver Totem of Aquementas to Linken
Rewards : XP!

Leads to:

[56] It's Dangerous to Go Alone (Elite)
Objectives : Find and kill Blazerunner, acquire the Golden Flame.
Rewards : XP!

This is the final step, the one that will reward you with Linken's Sword and a Boomerang. It is elite and you probably won't be doing it for a couple of levels, but up until this stage the XP you earn is over 20k, a nice jump for basically just running around.
