Ancient Spirit

Escort Arei to safety, then speak with Kayneth Stillwind in Forest Song, in eastern Ashenvale.
  •  
Help Arei get to Safety

Description

Felwood was once a peaceful and serene land... Until the legion took hold. The infernals, destruction, chaos...

The skull of Gul'dan ensured that none were spared here. All fell to the corruption.

Even now, as a spirit, I still find myself trapped, bearing the suffering of this land. Help me find my way home. Please, <name>, tell me you will lead an ancient spirit away from here, where I may finally rest.

Once I am free, seek out Kayneth Stillwind, a druid that resides in Forest Song, to the east.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Ethereal Mist Cape
Clouddrift Mantle

Progress

What have you seen in this corrupted land?

Completion

Yes, <name>. Felwood has been through much hardship. Thank you for what you have done.

One day, we may be able to reclaim Felwood from the corruption; every kind deed helps.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 730 experience (43 80 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Ironforge
  • 350 Reputation with Darnassus

Probably can be a hard one, though Arei makes good tank.
It will go north through edge of Irontree Woods to the road.
Once on the road 3 Treants attack, after defeating them the quest is complete.

His path can be found here: https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9598 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9598

Soloed as a 55 rogue. It's a piece cake, didn't even use any cooldowns. Just let him tank one as you fight the 1-2 others :)
Quest turn in is at 85,44 in Ashenvale.

This quest is part of a chain beginning with ""Flute of Xavaric"" https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=939 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=939.

You need to complete the quest ""Purified!"" https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4442 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4442 and get the Flute of the Ancients which summons the NPC who gives this quest.

For old time sake:

The quest has been very nerfed, you used to take the current path out of the Irontree woods south all the way along to Ashenvale. Along the way starting as soon as you exited Irontree you'd be ambushed by those first 3 treants.

A bit further along you'd be ambushed by some cultists from Jadenar, further along still you'd get ambushed by 3-4 Jadefire Satyr's. All in all it was a very difficult quest, and was very difficult to solo. I would have counted it to be one of the most fun too.

If the escort NPC wont spawn when you're using the flute, be sure to kill any mobs close to the ruins :)

I did this in 2.3 and noticed that mobs behave in a weird way towards Arei - if you follow him at a nice range no mob will aggro him. Always when I got close to him the nearby mobs attacked Arei. This is from a stealther's point of view, since I didn't pull any mobs while prowling in cat form. Hope this helps some of the reading rogues and druids - just stay at about 20 yard range and it's a walk in a corrupted park.

Yeah, I've always hated any escort quests because the escortee always seems to aggro everything in sight and, amazingly, way far off mobs that wouldn't aggro if you set fire to their feet. This guy though was able to do some of the heavy lifting. We did aggro a few mobs, but I took most of the damage. He did tank well. Didn't really seem like he took any damage even as the tank. The kickers of this quest are the two ancient pi.ssed-off protectors that appear and want a piece of Arei.

But, as lvl 53 hunter, it was worth the effort. Scored like 10,000 something xp. Nice!

It was ... kinda bugged for me. once summoned, he started to hit me, but once he was attacked by a bear, i could pick up the quest from him. then, along the way to ""safety"" he was hitting me all the way. such a friendly tree, i must say! (yeah, and by the way he was green)

If you don't have the second flight path in Ashenvale yest, the fastest way to get to the quest ender (yes, I know this is not a proper word) is to fly to Azshara then run back into Ashenvale, which works a lot better if you don't have your epic mount. After you get there, you can just fly out.

My experience - Arei aggros random mobs. Some were close enough to aggro but they seemed to ignore him, others were further away but still came running over to attack. Very weird. All in all, had to clear the following mobs in the process:
http://ptr.aowow.org/https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7139 Irontree Stomper - 8
http://ptr.aowow.org/https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7132 Toxic Horror - 3
http://ptr.aowow.org/https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7138 Irontree Wanderer - 3
http://ptr.aowow.org/https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7149 Withered Protector - 1

Keep in mind this is what I cleared. Might have been others Arei took care of while I had my hands full. In spite of the number of things I had to kill, this was one of the easiest escort quests I've done because of how capable Arei was of defending himself. Also, as others mentioned, huge amount of XP (10K+) is a definite bonus. Dinged 60 on completion :)

Arei has a much smaller aggro radius than you (at a comparable level), so mobs can in fact walk right through him. Stay away from them yourself and kill the ones that he does aggro. All in all not a difficult quest apart from the final three treants, just time-consuming like most escort quests.

After returning to the game I was going back and tying up loose quest ends, this being one of them. Lvl 75 now and I got 1050 exp and 385 rep with Darnassus, no rep with any other factions.
