Frostmane Hold

Explore Frostmane Hold, and kill 5 Frostmane Headhunters for Senir Whitebeard in Kharanos.
  •  
Fully explore Frostmane Hold

Description

I'm behind on my report, and could use your help, <name>. I just managed to find where the trolls are holed up, but I saw so many trolls, I was afraid to go in.

Here's what I need... Go down to the cave, poke around inside, kill a few of the trolls, then come back here.

Take the road north out of Kharanos, when you get to the bridge, follow the frozen river west until you reach Iceflow Lake. You'll find Brewnall Village on the west bank. The Hold is southwest of the village.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Warm Winter Robe
Stone Buckler

Progress

You can't find it? My directions were very clear! We don't have much time, you've got to hurry! Don't come back until you've found the cave.

Completion

Ah, <name>! I didn't think you'd have much trouble finding the place, my directions are excellent, you know...

Let me just finish up my report then.

<He brings out some paper and scribbles on it momentarily.>

There! Well, haha, now this certainly is funny... I don't suppose, <name>, that you would mind doing one last favor for me?

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:

The nearest graveyard is in Kharanos, so if you die it is an annoyingly long run back.

And add that they respawn very quickly, so running away and living is nearly impossible. All in all, it's pretty annoying.

It is actually relatively simple if you know how to do it. As soon as you go in the cave you can either go to the left or right. Pick the left path; it will lead you to a ledge. Jump down and head towards the right. At exactly 22,52 the quest should be completed.

They where hitting me for about 10-13 instead of the 6-8 from the surrounding animals of equal level, in most cases I came away from killing a single troll with only 10-20% life left...And lets not even talk about aggro range !_!

This is one of those quests that make me think ""What if I was someone who had just started playing the game and this was his first ever char"" Not exactly the best way to ""wow"" new customers.

This quest is very annoying to do aggro range = huge, damage from trolls = huge, and they spawn fast. Also the run back is long and annoying

this quest might be one of the most annoying in all of azzeroth...
as a lvl 8 rogue i went into the cave stealthed. i went right at the first fork and jumped off the ledge. i then proceeded to continue to the back of the cave. there was a narrow passage and i couldnt make it through without being detected. the troll saw and attacked me i died. my first death.
then i resuredted at the very back of the cave where there was a chest. i attempted to get it but the shadowcaster saw me and killed me. my second death. then i rezzed once more and tried again this time trin to kill the shadowcaster before i got the chest. no luck i got him to about 5% and died
i then rezzed for the fourth time and was forced to hearth out... i died once more later when i tried killing the headhunters i attacked one and about 5 came and killed me after i killed the headhunter.
this quest was 6 deaths for a lvl 8 rogue i can only immagin how bad it must have been for cloth wearers...
blizzard should get rid of this quest.

I didn't bother to kill the trolls inside the cave. I just killed 5 headhunters in the shimmer ridge during the quest where you had to get shimmerweed and just ran through the cave. Died 3 times.

This is one of those quests that make me think ""What if I was someone who had just started playing the game and this was his first ever char"" Not exactly the best way to ""wow"" new customers.Funny that you should say this. Today was my first time ever playing WoW.

It's refreshing to know that most of the quests aren't as annoying as this one is. I found the difficulty of this particular dungeon to greatly contrast with it's surroundings. The enemies are stronger, more aggressive, and smarter. Playing as a dwarf hunter, I died twice around level 6. I think most people who have never done this quest will go in unprepared.

I found the dungeon to be far enough into the game that the player will know how to play the game (what attacks and spells to use, what the controls do, etc.) but a little early for something this challenging. Are we supposed to team up with other players this early in the game? Or is this just a way to push people into leveling up? Either way, I'm not going back until I have some back up; either another player, or a pet bear.

This was my first account and time through the Hold and I didn't find it all that hard. I used a level 9 Mage without any special gear.

Conjure a ton of food and drink before you go in, at least 20 of each. Apply buffs and head in. Get a single troll within the very edge of your Frostbolt and then unleash Frostbolt, Fireball, Arcane Missiles, Fireball, and then what ever you need to clean up. If they try to run away, pop them with a Fire Blast. Rinse and repeat with next troll stopping to eat and drink when ever you need to. If you pull an extra troll, Polymorph the extra and finish off the first.

You don't race through the Hold but I even killed the level 11 guy with the silver dragon around his picture.

And there is a much closer graveyard now.

I remember doing this quest waaay back on my first toon, a gnome Warlock. I walked into the cave, but all of a sudden the loading screen came up. I ended up in the entrance cave of a level 60 AV that was about to start! Battlegrounds had just been released and I had no clue what was going on since I was only around level 9 at the time. I had to get my irl friend, a level 60 Mage to rescue me.

Good times, Vanilla, good times.

I had no problems with my level 8 mage. I made sure I had lots of mana potions and just picked them off one by one. It took longer than it would have if I had gone in with a group, but it wasn't that hard.

Agreed w/ those who thought this challenging. I just dinged 8 as a mage, so all I had with frostbolt firebolt and the fire instant cast. i died about 4x before getting the explored. Three factors make this an usually tough quest for the level
1) Humanoid mobs, closely packed - they run away and bring friends typicaly
2) Ranged and melee attack
3) Huge aggro radius
4) Lots of damage

Usually i would finish one, drink 2x, repeat. Pulls have to be extremely careful. Plus lots of pats. Not to mention the long run to and from the questgiver.

So...if you find this one hard, wait a few levels or skip it. There is a 11 elite there, but he owned me as a weakly level 8.

Best to do before lvl 10.
As soon as you kill 5 headhunters, just run trough the cave like Nukedoom sawowhead:1,id:<div class=""quote"">?user=Nukedoom"">Nukedoom said: <div class=""pad"">As soon as you go in the cave you can either go to the left or right. Pick the left path; it will lead you to a ledge. Jump down and head towards the right. At exactly 22,52 the quest should be completed.When you explore, you can die, you simply res at the spirit healer (no penalty as you're lvl &lt;10) that's much now. Return the quest and whoopetydoop.

Correction, I finally completed the quest for the exploring bit at 23.52.
I walked around most of the cave and couldn't find it, my carbonite was even wrong which is unusual. I suppose it varies from place to place?

Hmmm, made a toon and went to go in to the cave to kill the Headhunters for the quest I have and there are none. Is this quest a joke, how do you do it if there are no headhunters or the cave is blocked off? :(

A little awkward to try to get this quest, since it seems you can't, as it's also the only quest in Dun Morogh that has a shield as a possible quest reward... A shame for warriors and paladins (since shaman start with one).
