Winterspring

Started at level 57
Finished at level 58

With Western Plaguelands out the way, you could head over to Eastern Plaguelands, but with both Winterspring and Sithilis starting to go green now, I chose to go there first. I chose to do Winterspring first as Sithilis mobs, although around the same level, can be a bit harder.

[54] Chillwind Horns
Objectives : Collect 8 Uncracked Chillwind Horns
Rewards : XP!

[56] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 15 Raging Owlbeasts and 15 Ragged Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

These two quests can be done while running around the zone. Chillwind Horns is the follow on from the Burning Steppes quests, after you completed the Broodling Essence. There are three different types of Chillwind Chimaera around the zone; Fledgling Chillwind, Chillwind Ravagers and Chillwind Chimaeras. All three will drop the horns, however I had the best rate with the 'fledgling' which was nice as they are the lower level ones.

You will find the Fledgling Chillwind along the west side of the zone, usually higher up in the rocky part than along the flat part near the path. Up there is also where you will find the best population of Ragged Owlbeasts. Both mobs will be mixed in and around with Bears, Yeti's etc so you will just have to kill everything (yay xp!)

For the Raging Owlbeasts to complete Wild Guardians (which comes from Felwood btw) you want to head just north of Everlook. They are basically all around the area up there, ranging quite wide.

[56] Threat of the Winterfall
Objectives : Kill 8 Winterfall Pathfinders, 8 Den Watchers, and 8 Totemics.
Rewards : XP!

[56] Winterfall Ritual Totem
Objectives : Take the Winterfall Ritual Totem inside Timbermaw Hold and see if one of the furbolgs there will find a use for the item.
Rewards : XP!

[56] Winterfall Firewater
Objectives : Bring the Empty Firewater Flask to Donova Snowden
Rewards : XP!

All of the above three are done in the same area, however the last two come from items that drop so you will only have the Threat of Winterfall which comes from Donova Snowden. If you are still working on your Timbermaw faction, these furbolgs, like their cousins in Felwood, will assist that.

Just over the path from Donova you will find Frostfire Hot Springs, and the furbolg's you need. While killing these you may be fortunate enough to have a Winterfall Ritual Totem drop, which like the one from Felwood, you hand into Kernda inside the tunnels. Almost a high enough drop rate to guarantee you will see one is that Empty Firewater Flask, which you return to Donova.

[56] Falling to Corruption
Objectives : Search the Deadwood furbolg camp in northern Felwood for a clue
Rewards : XP!

After you give Donova the Empty Firewater Flask, you need to duck into Felwood, to the cauldon at the very back of the Felaw Village, the camp at the very top. If you are coming in from the path you want to head to the left of the water area there, and at the back you will find the largest of the camps, and in that camp the cauldron you need.

If you do this quest during the day, you can usually find people clearing the furbolgs for faction so you can just duck in and grab the cauldron when it's free. If there is no one there you may need to seek help as you tend to get the entire camp in one hit. After the cauldron, head back to Donova once again.

[56] Toxic Horrors
Objectives : Collect 3 Toxic Horror Droplets
Rewards : XP!

For a Winterfall quest series, I seemed to be heading into Felwood a lot. For the Toxic Horror Droplets you need to head back into Felwood to the Irontree Woods and locate the Toxic Horrors, the big elementals around the water. I got all three droplets from the first three I killed, however it's finding the three that is the hardest part as there seemed to be a constant stream of people after them. Once you do have them, head back to Donova.

[57] Winterfall Runners
Objectives : Find the Winterfall Runners and stop them from delivering their shipment to Winterfall Village.
Rewards : XP!

You may have seen these guys through your travels in Winterspring. They are three furbolgs that wander up and down the path, and now, it's time to kill them. I was already 58 by the time I came to this step and as they were 3 level 57's, I made good use of fear. They tend to be easiest to find along the main path from Felwood to Everlook.

After you have taken all three down and looted the package head back to Donova. Now, when you hand in you will have some Winterfall Ambusher's spawn, for what I'm not entirely sure. I got taken a little by surprise but managed to kill all three, only to find they aren't lootable and I got zero xp.

[56] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Collect 10 Thick Yeti Furs
Rewards : XP!

Just out from Everlook you will find Ice Thistle Hill's and lots of Yeti's. I had a pretty good drop rate with these and found no need to enter the cave you will find at the top there, although you will need that for later steps. Once you have your 10 furs, return to Umi.

[56] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Collect 2 Pristine Yeti Horns
Rewards : XP!

Heading back to Ice Thistle Hills, you can choose to hunt outside, or enter the caves. You are hunting the Patriarch's and Matriarch's as they are the only ones that will drop the Horns, and the caves do seem to have a higher population.

[58] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Take Umi's Mechanical Yeti and scare her friends with it
Rewards : Mechanical Yeti! Use: Summons a mechanical yeti that will protect you for 10 minutes.

Now comes the fun part! You will find Legacki in Everlook just left of the Inn, Sprinkle in Gadgetzan and Quixxil in Marshal's Refuge, Un'Goro Crater. When you get close to them, right click the yeti to release it and watch it chase them around. Once done, return to Umi in Winterspring.

[58] Winterfall Activity
Objectives : Kill 8 Winterfall Shaman, 8 Winterfall Den Watchers, and 8 Winterfall Ursa
Rewards : 4 Reward options... none of which are very good (only 1 cloth)

Just as you enter Winterspring from Felwood, you should find Salfa, he'll be guarding the entrance to the tunnel. You need to head over to Winterfall Village to find these mobs, and the Ursa's will give you the most trouble as there seem to be only one or two in the entire camp. The hardest part of this quest is finding the mobs alive as it seems everyone and their dog hunts here.

[58] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 13 Moontouched Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

A follow on from the earlier Wild Guardian's quest, the Moontouched Owlbeasts are found along the eastern wall. They can also be found further south, however I had no problems getting the 13 killed.

[59] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 10 Berserk Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

[59] Guarding Secrets
Objectives : Take the Blue-feathered Necklace to Trull Failbane at Bloodvenom Post.
Rewards : XP!

You probably saw a lot of the Berserk Owlbeasts while killing the Moontouched so shouldn't have too much trouble. While you are killing these you will most likely have a Blue-feathered Necklace drop, they can drop off the moontouched, however I had each one drop from the Berserk Owlbeasts. All you need to do is hand this in at Felwood and then in Thunder Bluff. Very easy.

That was me done with Winterspring!
