Provided Item:
Bath'rah's Parchment

Description

I have spent ages watching this site. I watch, so that one day I might see the great Cyclonian fall. But I have not yet found a champion to defeat the wind lord.

Perhaps you are that champion.

Prove it to me. Gather the items I need to summon Cyclonian, and I will know you are a great warrior. Perhaps then you can defeat him and gain his whirlwind heart.

If so, then I will infuse the heart's power in a weapon, and I will give that weapon to you.

Here is a parchment with the items I need.

Progress

Do you have the items, <name>? Gathering them is the proof I need that you have the strength to face Cyclonian.

Completion

You have gathered the items for my spell, and have shown me your strength and cunning. But the next stage of our quest is even more perilous.

Let us hope your strength does not falter.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 235 experience (14 10 at max. level)

You create the Essence of the Exile by collecting these items from elementals in Arathi Highlands:

https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4479 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4479 - Burning Charm (8)
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4481 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4481 - Cresting Charm (8)
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4480 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4480 - Thundering Charm (8).

Once you have them, right click the cauldron near Bath'Rah, and you will receive the Essence of the Exile.

This is part of the Warrior quest for the whirlwind weapon right after you get berserker stance. Its pretty tough to do even once you hit 40.(unless you get a guildy or two to help you out =P)
Along with the essence of exile, you need 30 tusks from the bloodscalp Trolls in STV, and 8 liferoot you can get from the AH or a herbalist. Once you finsih this up though, you will have to fight a elite wind elemental who can be a pretty big pain, but i got it done at lvl 40 (im pretty sure) with a lvl 35 shammy healing me.
Word on the street is that the most popular weapon to get for this, and some people say its the best one, is the Whirlwind Axe (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6975#z0z https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6975#z0z) Along with the Axe, you can also get the Whirlwind Mace (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6976 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6976) and the Whirlwind Sword. (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6977 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6977)
So as long as you get some help, the quest isnt too much of a pain, but if you're trying to solo it, be sure to bring some pots and band-aids, and be at least lvl 40 imo. Otherwise Good luck!

Don't forget; the charms aren't BoP so also make sure to check the AH to see if anyone put some up there (which they sometimes do).

After you hand in everything and you accept the next quest he goes to summon cyclonian if you fail to kill him don't worry you do NOT have to go collect everything again, just abandon the Q and go get it again &gt;p

Remember, you only need to kill the trolls on your warrior - your (assuming you have one) Main can farm the Charms + Liferoot without problem.
And a tip: Get a mate too help you with the 40 elite , or buy a nature potion.

While you are grinding Bloodscalp Orcs for thier tusks, you should pick up the quest:https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=189 Bloodscalp Ears from https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=737 Kebok in Booty Bay. That way you can grind drops for two quests at the same time. You will easily get enough Bloodscalp ears by the time you finish getting the 30 tusks you need.

I found this quest both difficult and the posts fragmented which made it hard to understand so I thought I'd provide a step-by-step walkthrough. I completed this at Lvl 30 but had a lvl 30 Priest with me most of the time and called in some Guildies in the 50s to help with the Elementals. I don't think this quest is possible at lvl 30 without some level 40+ players to help.

Suggestion: There's LOTS of travel for this quest. You might want to run through to Refugee Point in Arathi Highlands and over to Southshore in the Hillsbrad Foothills to get the flight paths to save some time getting to Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands (assuming you need to take the boat to Booty Bay in StrangleThorn Vale).

You need to complete three separate tasks BEFORE you return to Bath'rah and fight a Level 40 Wind Elemental to earn the Whirling Axe (which appears to be the best choice).

The first is to find 8 Liferoot, this is easy to purchase from the Auction House in any major city.

The second is to get 30 BloodTusks from Trolls (lvls 34-36) in the Northern portion of Stranglethorn Vale (STV) Coords: 25,10. This is a long trip and there are often tons of horde in the same area. The Trolls can be pulled but often you're figthing 2-3 at a time.

The final step is to get 8 Thundering, Burning and Cresting charms from elementals (lvls 38+) in the Arathi Highlands (note: I bought a number of Cresting Charms in the Auction House). These things are tough and with two level 30 characters (Warrior and Priest) we weren't able to kill them, we needed some level 50s to help.

Thundering Charm (8) = Thundering Exile | Arathi Highlands | 50,53
Burning Charm (8) = Burning Exile | Arathi Highlands | 26,26
Cresting Charm (8) = Cresting Exile | Arathi Highlands | 67,30

Bring all of the things you collected back to the Cauldron near Bath'rah where you should see a Question Mark, the charms will create the Essence of the Exile.

Hand everything in to Bath'rah and follow him to fight the Lvl 40 Wind Elemental.

I earned two levels in the process of completing this quest and the Axe doubled the amount of damage I was delivering (so I thought it was worth it).

So my friend and I were doing this Q together along with https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=581 Hunt for Yenniku

Beware that they both use the SAME TUSKS

Ed: Fixed link

I see a lot of people mention the same thing but nothing about the fight itself. I soloed it at 38 with multiple attempts but finally did it.

He has 2 abilities, Whirlwind and Gust of Wind which is basically like the Cyclone Druid spell. You CAN move back when you see him cast these they'll miss so it'd possible to kite him around the structure to fight, just don't get to far ahead. This is also important.. DO NOT FIGHT HIM WITH YOUR BACK TO THE RIVER this frustrated me so much as he randomly does a huge push back and knocked me into the river one time where he couldn't follow and ended up regenerating his life. He also was able to knock me up onto the structure which will also gain some life back cause of pathing.

Some good tips as mentioned is use Nature Protection Potion and another potion ready if you're going to solo. It'd be wise to time the potion and when you start battle so that the potion use cooldown is ready when you need it as well. My first few attempts would've been better if i hadn't been knocked in the water and used Retaliation, so if you got it, pop it. Hope this helps, i was also Fury used mostly Battle Stance. Thought Plummel in Berserker would help but it just wasted my rage which you need a lot of if you're going to solo.

On my note it says three charms instead of eight now? Did they reduce it?

about the weapon, hasn't the weapon speed has influence on how fast your rage builds? sow the axe, witch is slow gives you more damage but the sword gives you more rage?

Was curious if a lvl 38 warrior could do this solo.

I'm largely Prot. Spec. and only have 1 Heirloom- Battleworn Thrash Blade w/ Crusader on it. Yes, that is cool. And some random Dungeon Finder loot.

And I soloed it with ease. Used 1 pot, but not really necessary cause I forgot about using Shield Wall.

I would imagine if you knew what you were doing at lvl 40, you could solo this with Quest Greens.

Beginning to really like Prot. Spec grinding...round up a bunch of mobs and away we go. Was killing the Trolls in STV 4 at a time (including some that were 3-4 lvls above me).
