Protecting the Herd

Rudra Amberstill wants you to slay Vagash and bring his fang to her at the Ram ranch.
Fang of Vagash

Description

We heard the cries in the middle of the night. Then this morning, sure enough, the herd was missing two rams. That dastardly beast known as Vagash has been preying on our livelihood. With most of King Magni's army off in distant lands fighting with the Alliance, there is no one to keep Vagash at bay.

Perhaps you are brave enough to seek out the beast and slay him. Bring me one of his fangs and I will reward you. Vagash lurks just above the ranch here, but be warned, he is deadly.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Rancher's Trousers
Soft Leather Tunic
Coldridge Hammer

Progress

Vagash still terrorizes the herd! Please help us by killing the wretched beast.

Completion

Very well done! Veron will be so happy when he hears the good news. To kill Vagash is no easy task. I imagine one day you'll be fighting alongside King Magni's men on the Alliance Front.

Gains

Vagash no longer does that frost breath attack. He now does a Frost Nova type of spell. Also, you don't need to go up the path to get to him. From the left side of the porch, facing the house, look slightly to your left. You'll see a small incline going up the hill. There is a tree there. Run up that part of the hill, behind the tree. Once you're past it, turn around and run up another incline and you'll be right at the cliffs edge where Vagash's cave is. This saves time from having to run around the mountain.

For those of us without map cords, you can find Vagash in his cave on top of the hill directly behind Rudra Amberstill. He does leave his cave to walk around the area, so be aware of this as you come up on the cave.

The quest is orange at level 9, but he's still pretty easy. Does a lot of damage, but as a hunter, just concussive > sting > arcane, then jump down the hill when concussive is off cooldown and repeat.

To get up to him, go to the house on the far left of the ranch. Stand in front of the house, and look to your left. There's a ledge. Just navigate your way up, and you totally avoid looking for the ramp. But if you can't find this path...

... there's a ramp right around on the other side of the mountain on the left.

From the questgiver, do a /tar vagash. If he's near the cliff, you might be able to pull him and save yourself a few minutes of running.

I went around the right side of the building behind the questgiver and pulled him from 70,47.
