Freedom for All Creatures

Using the Bamboo Cage Key, free the Sprite Darters from the pen in the Grimtotem camp. At least 6 Sprite Darters and Kindal Moonweaver must survive.

You have 6 minutes before Kindal decides it is time to retreat and you fail the quest.
  •  
Save at least 6 Sprite Darters from capture
Provided Item:
Bamboo Cage Key

Description

The filthy Grimtotem clan are capturing faerie dragons, <name>. Jer'kai and I have no idea what they plan on doing with them, but they're obviously up to no good.

We're not powerful enough to fight our way into the camp and free the captured dragons, but perhaps with your help...

If you're willing, and you have some strong friends, release the creatures from their cage with this key and make sure they escape with their lives. I'll be by your side the entire time. Jer'kai will remain here.

Completion

Thank Elune, <name>! You are a great blessing to us and to the darters you saved. Jer'kai and I would never have been able to help the dragons ourselves--your intervention in the Grimtotem's affairs will be remembered.

Speak to Jer'kai now... I have to prepare for our retribution. Just because the faerie dragons are free, it doesn't mean they will remain so. Jer'kai and I will now go on the offensive.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 315 experience (18 90 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Darnassus

This is the first required quest to get the Sprite Darter Egg.

I soloed the whole quest line and got my pet at level 58, it was annoying because Kindal and the darters you need to save kept starting fights that they were unable to win.

I recommend getting some friends to help you, and that you are at least level 45.

Reward from the last quest is:

I found the easiest way to complete this portion of the quest is to first clear out the immediate area around the Bamboo cage.

Then activate the quest by speaking to Kindal and you'll find yourself having a lot easier time.

Kindal must survive and 6 Sprite Darters must escape. The Darters will stop to fight so following the largest group a little way will vastly increase your chances of success.

This quest begins the quest line for obtaining your Sprite Darter Egg.

This quest leads you to ""Doling Justice"" https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2970 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2970

After you take the ring to Darnassus at the end of the Doling Justice quest chain, you need to return to Kindal Moonweaver to pick up the ""An Orphan Looking For a Home"" quest: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3841 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3841
I would suggest also getting the flight paths from gadget to theramore, then from menethil to Airie Peak in the hinterlands prior to starting this quest as one of the steps is on a timer. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Solo'd as a 46 Lock.
First time I tried it, I cleared the area, then I went in using my aoe thinking it was an easy task. Let the VW grab all the agro and AOE them down. I died REAL fast.

Second time kept Void Walker up, kept Curse of recklessness up on all mobs so they wouldn't run off and grab more. I had to sacrafice him once when his health was to low to recover. I then hit Fel Domination, brought him right back with full health (real pain trying to get him to grab all the agro again).

This was hard for me. I burned everything i had to finish this quest. In the end I had 23 health points, 2 mana points and zero demon pets. If you really want this done, i'm sure you can do it, but be prepared to get frustrated. If I had to do it again, I would get help or hit it at a higher lvl.

I quickly cleared out the main area to the east of the cage, and along the path I cleared about half of the mobs. then I got the quest, unlocked the cage, and quickly pulled any remaining mobs to my group of darters. With 10+ darters and the quest giver, and myself killing, I could pretty much keep pulling the mobs and have them dead before the next one was killed. I had better luck the second time I tried. The first time, the darters just went everywhere. They 1v1ed every mob in the place. It was ugly. I would suggest clearing out the entire area QUICKLY if you have a chance. The respawn is quick, but not so quick that you don't have time for a full clear. This was at level 43 - priest.

Good luck!

Don't pass up the chance to have fun at 50. This and the next quest in the series here are an absolute blast, at least as a Feral Druid. You get to romp around easily killing everything in sight and still get XPs for every kill. It's still worth clearing out the camp before starting the timed quest though. Figure two quest rewards plus the loot and XPs from clearing the area three times &amp; the fun for 20 minutes. Do it!

Whatever you do don't go in the cage while the door is open, it'll shut and you won't be able to get out until someone else does the quest or you aggro mobs around and rez outside the cage.

Not sure about anyone else but I tried doing this quest at lvl 70 to get the pet and everytime I try to attempt the first quest it freezes my game for the 6 minutes and cannot do anything until the timer is completed. Is that something against a lvl 70 or is it a current bug?

my strategy to complete this was: accept quest, rush to the cage and open it, then run back to where you accepted the quest, when u see that u failed it, accept it again and rush back to the cage to open it again, do this for about 3 or 4 times and alle the guards will be killed cuz they dont respawn that fast.

The full list of quests directly linked to the sprite darter:

Section 1
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2969 Freedom for All Creatures
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2970 Doling Justice
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2972 Doling Justice (yes, both quests have the same name)

Be sure to pick up https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3825 Elixir of Fortitudex2 while in Darnassus - you will need them for Quentin.

Section 2
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3841 An Orphan Looking For a Home
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3842 A Short Incubation

Make sure that you have the necessary flight points/hearth location to quickly reach the Hinterlands for the first quest in this section; you will only have one hour.

Section 3
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3843 The Newest Member of the Family
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4297 Food for Baby
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4298 Becoming a Parent

This isn't a proper guide, as there are already excellent guides for this chain that exist out there, but merely a clean list of quest links.

Any way for Horde to get into the cage, (rogue lockpick, blacksmith key, engineer 'universal key')? Nice squishy egg-droppers all collected in one place.

Tried to do this quest but lagged out, and ended up abandoning it instead. Now the quest giver doesn't have the quest anymore. Any suggestions?

She doesn't seem to be offering the quest on the 4.0.3a test realms. I suggest you get this quest done ASAP.

Since this quest has been removed in 4.0.3a, can the darter be obtained still or is it also removed?
