Howling in the Hills

Bring Yowler's Paw to Verner Osgood in Lakeshire.
Yowler's Paw

Description

<name>, the gnolls are still out there. I can hear their baying as they hunt in the hills above Lakeshire. And one cry is louder than the rest - Yowler, their leader.

Kill Yowler and send his pack scattering! Bring me his paw as proof.

And be careful, this gnoll is their leader for a reason. He is no Mongrel...

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Ring of Iron Will
Gold Militia Boots

Progress

Yowler is a dangerous creature, <name>. If you're not ready for him, I understand.

Completion

Again, thank you for your help. The Stormwind army is so busy dealing with the orcs, they don't have the troops to protect Redridge from local threats like the gnolls.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 200 experience (12 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Stormwind

In order to get the 'Baying of Gnolls' quest, which leads to 'Howling in the Hills', and 'Underbelly Whelp Scales' quest, you need to do 'The Price of Shoes' quest and 'Return to Verner'.

This is the one where, if you can't find anyone to go with on this quest... @ about level 19, maybe even 18 as a rogue, I sat down and logged out in the field of where Yowler was founded at, had my main kill everything BUT Yowler, log out, and solo him myself with my rogue.

You still need a group to do this quest because the Redridge Mystics that are with Yowler will heal him so don't do this alone.

Yowler currently has 483HP. Is surrounded by 6 Level 19 Redridge Alphas and a level 18 Mystic. Confirmed Level 20 for the big guy.

Rewarding 1650XP and rep with Stormwind only of 275.

Not sure if this is new or anything, but when I killed him (20 warr), he was walking from one gnoll camp to the other, so I was able to pull him without any adds.

Yowler is surrounded by a bunch of lvl 19 Alphas and Mystics. However, there are only 3 that u can agro along with Yowler. They are: 1 Mystic, and 2 Bashers/Alphas. Yowler is located along with these 4 in a camp at the far end of the valley. I completed this with my hunter at 24. I just sent in my pet to attack Yowler, agroing all 4. I then just picked out guys and drew them to me. Very easy, just have to plan it out a bit.

As for myself, a rogue, I did this at 19. All I did was sneak on in in stealth, sap the one mystic next to him, one of the alpha's/basher's left and I ambushed the guy, took him down quick, aggroe'd another mystic, got killed, but I looted the body first and made it nonetheless :) worth it? Definetely :P lol. But I can see how it can be tough for some.

I can confirm that he now patrols around the camps, followed by a Redridge Alpha and a Redridge Mystic. You can easily ambush them on their way from one camp to another.

You either need a group or be like a level 22. You will still die because the mystics will be shooting at you. So what I did was kill Yowler really fast then his bodyguards will kill you then resurrect at your body, loot him and run. level 22 paladin

Did this as a lvl 19 warlock. He didn't seem to be patroling so I killed him at his camp. Consited out of 3 mobs and Yowler himself. One of them does go away from the Group so I killed him while he was away, Dealth with the Mystic quick and then finished Yowler and the Alpha off. I did fear yowler untill I got to killing him, So I'd suggest some cc :)
