Lost in Battle

Find Mankrik's wife and then return to him in the Crossroads.

	Find Mankrik's Wife

Description

We battled in a small tauren camp when we were separated--she held three of the Bristlebacks off by herself. But the odds began to overwhelm us. I led some away only to see her overwhelmed by newcomers. In my rage, I turned to face my enemies, but they brought me down easily with their vast numbers.

I awoke to a tauren druid tending my wounds--he had come across me on the Gold Road as I fell.

Please, <class>, find some sign of my wife.

Reward

Also, you get: 9

Progress

Have you found any sign of her at all? The pain in my chest tells me that the worst has happened, but I have hope you will find her safe and sound.

Completion

I understand. Thank you, <class>.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:

115 experience (6 90 at max. level)
150 Reputation with Orgrimmar

For those without a coordinate addon, on the road from Camp Taurajo to Crossroads, there's a bridge that crosses a dried up river bed. To the soutwest of that bridge there are a pair of huts or houses. Inside one of those huts is a body, that body is Mankirk's wife.

Quest is fairly easy. The only hard thing is running. It's pretty far, but the silver is worth it. Their might be a ornery plainstrider near the huts which can attack you.

This quest has probably caused more Barrens related jokes than any other. Hardly a minute can go by without a person asking, ""Where is Mankruks wife lol!?""

The above posters are correct. If you follow the road south you will eventually cross a small bridge. Very near the bridge are a group of small huts. The beaten corpse is inside one of the huts. Make sure to click on the corpse!

A good idea to complete this while you're running south to pickup the Camp Taurajo and Thunderbluff flightpaths.

Time is running out. Soon, a great fissure of flame will split up the land we have come to know as the Barrens, with the screaming of people looking for her. Its only a matter of time till we may never be able to find Mankrik's wife, what shall we do?

Mankrik's wife is a character in ""You Awaken in Razor Hill,"" which I will not go into great detail about because it is a good story which you should read if you have not.

The summarized (without the needless posts by people other than the story-teller) can be found at: http://www.thelittlestmurloc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&a... http://www.thelittlestmurloc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&a...

The original thread on the official WoW forums can be found at: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=20677329926 http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=20677329926

Again, read through the whole story if you have not, it is enthralling and very funny.

You turn the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10668 body over and see the marks from blades and spells upon the deceased orc--her armor all but destroyed, her hair matted to her face.
Based on https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3432 Mankrik's description of her, there is no doubt in your mind that this was his wife.
He will be upset by the news, but you are sure he should know the truth.

I inspect the body further.

The body is that of a female orc warrior.
It is clear that she died in battle, probably against the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3258 quilboar in the area.

Quite possibly the most hardcore quest in the history of WoW. Blizzard had to delete it because it was literally too difficult for all but the elitest of elite raiders to finish.

I just introduced a cousin to WoW and I'm kind of sad that he'll never be able to revel in the tear jerking frustration involved in finding Mankrik's wife.

I was more proud of finding her than I was of clearing AQ40.
(I found her about the same time too. Never gave up the quest and just happened upon a body while out farming herbs.) I was ecstatic.
