Ursius of the Shardtooth

Storm Shadowhoof at Everlook in Winterspring wants you to kill Ursius.
  •  
Ursius slain

Description

In the snowy mountains of Winterspring, to the northwest, a skilled hunter stalks his prey... I speak of Ursius of the shardtooth bears, an agile and clever beast.

I send you now against him. He roams the sloping hills to the northwest of Everlook. Find and hunt him, before he discovers your intent.

All that have gone up against Ursius have quickly found themselves to be the prey, and he, the hunter. Stay on your guard.

Progress

Go now, <class>. Seek out Ursius.

Completion

This was no easy task, yet you have excelled. But do not be too quick to think you have impressed me, <name>.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 580 experience (34 80 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Thunder Bluff

This bear wanders around the mountains, so it's hard to give exact coords for him. Look around his page (Click on the Ursius Slain link for Wowhead's listed coords)

Pretty much a basic 56 bear. Mages and warlocks should have no problem soloing. Not sure about other classes, but depending on gear and level, they shouldn't have much problem either.

For those of you without any UI installed, Ursus wanders around the mountains north of Everlook. It may take some hunting to find him, as he wanders around the mountains.

I asked in general if anyone sees him to let me know. I was searching everywhere for him.

A 57 Rogue found him, so me (56 Priest) killed him together. He does it very hard and has about 13k health or something like that.

He was on top of a hill at 61,21.

You best bet in finding him is to start in the mountains just north of Everlook, and run west to the other mountain across the valley. That tends to be his circuit.
Otherwise a fairly challenging elite, both because of his 12k health and 3-400 hits. Like all bears though he is slow and can be easily kited. Watch for adds but otherwise good luck.

I tried to solo him at level 55 (shadow priest). I failed since he resisted 40-50% of my spells. I tried again at 57, and it was cake.. just keep dots on him, use mind blast when it's available, and mindflay when he's far away. Fear was always up when I needed it so there was also no kiting involved.

58, 33 is a great place to start looking like Lurkingsalt said. That's where I found him also.

Soloed him as lvl 54 Paladin (prot spec)

For if you don't use coords I would recommend:
What I did was, I made a macro with: /target Ursius writen in it.
and then cruise around north of everlook near mountain tops and you should find him quite easy that way.

I actually found it a pain in the ass to find Ursius. I found him at 58, 31 on my way back to Everlook while giving up trying to find him.

Ursius and Brumeran are no longer Elites as of todays patch, which means its a possibility that Shy-Rotam and her Mate are no longer Elite aswell. I'm not to that part in the quest string yet but will edit this post accordingly if no one else has the info by then.

*edit* Confirmed, Shy-Rotam and her Mate have both been reduced to Non-elites.

Took him on my 2nd try. After slaying him, I went to look for him again, to follow him through his trail to see why he is so elusive. I discovered that he actually does a very long walk, from northwest to the northeast hills close to Everlook. He goes from 57.6/32.4, to 64.1/24.8.
Quest says: ""He roams the sloping hills to the northwest of Everlook"", that's why most of the time can't be found. He goes all the way to hills north/northeast of town.

I was on here looking to see where he was most likely to be, alt-tabbed back into the game and he was about 20 yards infront of me. Lol.

Found him at 59,33. Fairly easy kill for a level 57 hunter, he isn't elite anymore. I also got two adds from roaming mobs, overall took me about a minute to kill all three, so this quest is pretty damn easy ATM.

Just told by a GM that after patch 2.3 these quests no longer give rep due to alliance being able to do them now too...

Ursius is a level 56 mob, he can be very hard to find because he blends in with the other bears.

He patrols around an area north of the town. Here is wowhead's link to his patrol area: https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10806 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10806

Here are 2 helpful ways to find him:
  1. Make a macro (/target ursius) and click it every few seconds.
  2. Ask general chat every few minutes.
I wouldn't spend too much time looking for this guy it could take you a very long time to find,

Ursius is a lvl 56 bear and wonders along the mountaion by everlook! the best way i found to find him is 2 just stay on the east mountain side and wight till he come by!

If you cant find him, try to go around on the mountain and write /target Ursius. That would work!

This quest is easy. While farming out there, I noticed that he re-spawned, and walked past 59.5, 32.4 every 3-5 min. So all you have to do is kill in that area for under 5 min, and HE will come across YOU.
Its that easy now.
I have since tested this about 5 times, and it has always been true.

I found that the best way to find him if you're not a hunter that can track beasts, is to ask a guild member or friend to party with you, ensure you're the party leader, then spam a /target Ursius macro. As soon as he's targeted, mark him with a skull or X, and move your camera around until you see the mark. It appears in front of terrain so it makes it easy. Found him in about 5-6 minutes.

This bear is very annoying... stop the wandering! I kept this quest and would walk thru here and there at 62 finally got him above the VE in EVERLOOK on the map (after getting ganked and woke up to him being right there). Got 6750exp. alliance.

I started at the Flightmaster outside Everlook, I went up to Moon Horror Den from there. A couple feet away from the den Ursius was walking away. Click on every bear you find because Ursius looks like all the rest, pure white. Ursius is level 56 and he is no longer a elite. Very easy to kill but, then again I'm a level 63 unholy Death Knight.

Took me forever to find this guy...I actually gave up and ""stumbled"" upon him later, when I was not looking for him. Found him at 62.6,31.8. Walking east on the ridge line. If you don't have co-ords, from the alliance flight master it is the first hill you come to going dead north.
