Alpha Strike

Kill 5 Woodpaw Alphas and return to Hadoken Swiftstrider within one hour.
  •  
Woodpaw Alpha slain (5)

Description

The plan is for various leaders of the gnolls - Alphas as they call themselves - to be taken down within rapid succession. If we're able to execute this sort of swift and precise devastation against them, it would cause chaos in their ranks. Perhaps it would also drive a message through their thick flea-bitten heads that we can and will destroy them!

I want you to be the messenger of my will; eliminate five of their Alphas within one hour for this to work <name>, or we'll remain at this impasse!

Reward

Also, you get: 45

Progress

Time is running out, <name>! If you're not here to report that you've taken out the Alphas, then you're wasting time!

Completion

You've done as I have asked, and for that I salute you. Take this small reward as compensation for your efforts, <name>.

With their numbers thinned and their leaders slain, the gnolls will think twice about storming the camp. This doesn't conclude the issue at hand, however...

There must be some reason why the gnolls have been whipped into such a frenzied state. Before they have a chance to regroup though, I want to find out what is causing it.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 270 experience (16 20 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Thunder Bluff

Remember to turn the quest back in within the hour. Logging out will not stop the timer, resulting in a [Failed]. If this happens, you will need to abandon the quest and take it again from the quest giver.

Avoid the Woodpaw Mongrels. They will cast a debuff called Contagion Rot on you. This decreases melee swing speed and lengthens casting time. No fun if you're clearing the camps with these alphas in them.

The coords given above did not help me. I found 4-5 alphas at 66.0, 53.3. This is a plateau above the rest of the camps, in the westernmost mountainside [of the gnoll section] .

Found this quest sort of hard to do (lvl 42) seeing as the alpha's, reaver's and mystic's were spawned all on top of each other. = /

This quest sucked for me, all but one were stuck in one pile with about 6 other Gnolls, I had to wait for one to respawn 5 times.

This is Woodpaw Den, up the mountain, follow the flaming lightposts to the top, there is one in the cave and several more to be had on the plataeu, make sure you get at least one before going up there.

Usually you can find Alphas with one Reaver and one Mystic. Personally I just pulled all three and killed the Alpha. I only took about 1000 damage before the Alpha dropped, and was then able to simply outrun the other two's aggro. Took me under ten minutes on the timer using the coords above.

Did it in 10 Minutes. Head to the woodpaw den area. The Alphas spawn in camps with a Mystic and one other, solo the Alpha and run...wash,rinse,repeat. They'res enough camps that you won't have to wait around for spawns.

Soloed at 17 min. and 18 sek. with a level 41 orc hunter.
My tactic was to send pet on alpha and kill, then run and dismiss and fegin death rinse repeat.

Easily solo'able as a my 43 feral druid alt. Go to the area near the cave on the plateu where all the camps are; self-cast renew and rejuv and barrel into the individual camps in dire bear form. You should be able to absorb lots of damage before needing to heal, in which case a warstomp will give you enough breathing space to heal up. Just be careful because these mobs like to flee and It's easy to stir the whole camp up against you.

Solo'd with my lvl 43 demo warlock. Not so bad if you keep your Voidwalker on a tight leash- first, pick off a few surrounding gnolls closest to the Alpha of the camp (but still on the outskirts). Then, cast your curse of choice to pull out the Alpha, but set your VW to passive or spam the Follow command so he doesn't auto attack. Once the Alpha is in safe range from the rest of the camp, let your VW at 'em. This way you don't have to worry about https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=17750's https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=17750's AOE.

If things get bad, don't be afraid to https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=19441 https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=19441 and run to a safe distance.
